Since this blog is alive with activism, I wanted to forward a website I actively monitor: Phillyneighborhoods.org. The website, supported by citizen voices from a Yahoo! email group, is a compilation of neighborhood issues and citizens' opinions. Among the most tossed around topics is Philadelphia's litter issue, as residents openly discuss problems, weigh options and vent about their block's situation. Many of the City's block captains are contacted through the email group, and Phillyneighborhoods.org lists many communities' captain contact information and other resources.
The site, and the email group even more so, is incredibly active. If you want to stay connected with the City’s small-scale issues, make it a point to visit (after spending quality time on here, of course).
