Community 101

Whether you’ve lived somewhere for 20 days or 20 years, we’re willing to bet there’s something you can learn about your city of residence. Whether it’s seeking out a local vegetarian restaurant or trying to figure out the public transportation system, learning about your community expands your horizons while shrinking your local world. So, pick up a local paper or try a new coffee shop. Talk to a politician, meet your neighbor, or make your way to a nearby event for a good cause. Then, teach someone what you learned and increase the concept of community in an instant.
