Ronald Reagan’s famous line about government not being the solution gets overused and abused for all kinds of purposes. But here’s one case where it was true: good old fashioned pressure from neighbors, not government intervention, finally got the ugly yellow house on 34th and R fixed up and sold to a new owner. Whodathunk a potluck supper—and local buzz fanned by the Journal Star—could be so potent?

Good work, folks. And good luck to the new owner getting the house fixed up again.
