That's pretty funny--a mob that you can join, having a voting share in, sponsors clean-ups for the neighborhood, youth activities, a Town watch, gets grant money to maintain parks, etc...all in their free time. Yeah, they're evil, evil people. My particular committee to put a dog park in the neighborhood was the most evil of all. Hey El, you ever been to a neighborhood association meeting? Do you have any idea what you're talking about actually or do you just read Phillyblog about it?
