1. Natalia – July 8, 2008
In Carrick we have an e-mail listserv that neighbors use to discuss a variety of issues. Lately, we have been discussing a hot topic of crime on a certain section of Brownsville Road.
Check out our topic list here: http://groups.google.com/group/carrickPA/topics
Neighbors have remarked that this makes them feel like they are supported by a larger community and they do not feel like they are alone and isolated when calling 911.
