@Angela46951592 @LongLeaps @oarchibald @JonathanMerritt @Hillsong Did you see that Donald Trump Junior said his dad misspoke. Trump wants power and is willing to use violence (the Proud Boys) when he needs them. They are waiting for his word. They are very fine people.

Children’s play is a child chosen and child directed activity. #playstreets #playingout #play

Q: What happens when you crop community development off the end of Asset-Based Community Development #ABCD ? A: You get a MacDonald’s version of #ABCD, called Asset Based Approaches. There can be no authentic *AB* without *CD*, nor can there be community driven CD w/o AB (IMHO).

What would your neighborhood be like if neighborliness not busyness was the new normal? #abcd

[Scotty Jones @scottyjones]

Our neighbor came over for breakfast with her gorgeous owl!

Did you know every block is filled with so many gifts, passions, & wisdom. These gifts are to be shared for mutual relationship. I am always surprised & filled with gratitude when gifts are discovered and shared! #abcd

Play is here to stay!

What happens when you combine a We Love LB @welovelb Breakfast with Play Streets @playstreetslb ? Pure neighborhood magic! 🎩 That’s what!

Over 30 breakfasts around the city today! We call this a new normal! Run all by neighbors like you. #abcd

Huh. People with strong religious ties less likely to choose name brand products that are used for self-expression

Brands: The Opiate of the Nonreligious Masses?

Children don’t choose to be inactive - we have made them so. The solution is simple: safer streets where they can play, walk and cycle every day. https://t.co/qCpktO7Qme

@livable_city @pasi_sahlberg @LongBeachCity @playingout @StrongTowns After every Play Street, both children and kids respond, when can we do this again? ;)

“We can sew!”

Asset-Based Community Development in the classic film The Three Amigos.

When building community: focus first on what’s strong not what’s wrong.

Play Streets LB seeks to reduce the loneliness and social isolation through the building of small scale, block level relationships and through the simple enjoyment of resident-led free play in residential streets.

[Play Streets Long Beach @playstreetslb]

City Blocks and neighborhoods are transformed when neighbors are given the excuse to get to know and enjoy their neighbors on their own street.

@playstreetslb is simple and sustainable, that’s why we do it.
