Welcome to Neighbors About Town.
My name is Kris (call me Neighbor Chick). I am the author of Neighbors About Town.
I chose the name Neighbors About Town because I like to
think of us as neighbors bumping into each other while out and about in the
town square.
This blog is new, but Neighbors About Town is actually eight years old. It began as a project in 2004 as a way to promote local community and provide myself a creative outlet. I personally welcomed new residents and hosted socials. I sent "happy notes" to residents congratulating them on their achievements. My husband and I created local newsletters and websites. Neighbors About Town was also a newsprint newspaper.
While the project was satisfying, factors such as fuel consumption and killing trees for newsprint weighed heavily on my conscience. A different approach was needed.
With this blog, Neighbors About Town survives!

Near or far, we're neighbors, we are...
I hope you enjoy this blog, neighbor!
