Neighbor Guy

City People. Urban Living. Other Stuff.

Pleased To Meet You, Too!

We begin with a simple proposition.

There are, no doubt, web sites scattered across cyberspace devoted to the many virtues of urban living. There is, however, only one Neighbor Guy.

My mission in this space is a straightforward one – to persuade each of you to sell your homes, uproot your families and relocate to one of the five neighborhoods being profiled in the new Unsung Indy campaign.

Okay, so maybe my mission isn’t so simple after all.

Nevertheless, it will be incumbent upon me in the months to come to impress you with my vast knowledge of urban living issues and my ardent passion for city life.

It will be incumbent upon you to pore over my bi-monthly postings and take my messages to heart. Perhaps something you read will inspire you to change your life completely. That would be cool.
 
Here are a few additional things you should know about Neighbor Guy.

• Neighbor Guy is first and foremost an urban advocate. He is not an urban planner. He is no Pierre L’Enfant, though he knows who Pierre L’Enfant is, and surely that’s worth something.

• Neighbor Guy is less concerned with academic details than he is with glittering generalities – the more they glitter, the more he likes them.

• Neighbor Guy occasionally refers to himself in the third person for dramatic effect. He promises not to overdue it.

Naturally, the views expressed in this space are not necessarily those expressed by Unsung Indy or its supporters.

The views expressed in this space will be eminently more entertaining, occasionally provocative, and decidedly not fact checked.

Until we meet again – in two weeks time, unless our web site crashes – this is Neighbor Guy signing off.

So long, good luck and long live city life!
