Neighborhood Mash-Up

Neighborhood Mash-Up is a project of the local copywriter Michael Solender. Mr. Solender writes features on business, travel, and pop-culture. His project was one of the 126 ideas chosen amongst 7000 proposals submitted for the Knight Cities Challenge. The core idea of Neighborhood Mash-Up is to unite residents by pairing different neighborhoods across the city together on two consecutive Saturdays to host simultaneous block parties that highlight businesses, houses of worship, parks, schools and other resources.
