Editors Wanted: Become a Neighborhoodr Editor
Being a Neighborhoodr editor is easy: you can republish whatever you’d like about your neighborhood from your own blog, or you can reblog or link out to your favorite local news outlets. We only ask that you please be mindful of the the people following the blog by spreading out posts using the queue and keeping the conversation on topic. There’s no commitment, and usually there are multiple editors per neighborhood to keep content fresh and colorful.
If you’re interested in learning more, please email hi@neighborhoodr.com for more information.

So what did $1,900 buy? The run-down bungalow had already been stripped of its appliances and wiring by the city’s voracious scrappers. But for Mitch that only added to its appeal, because he now had the opportunity to renovate it with solar heating, solar electricity and low-cost, high-efficiency appliances.
For Sale: The $100 House - NYT. Apparently artists, architects & dreamers are buying up houses in Detroit for crazy cheap, retrofitting entire neighborhoods with green infrastructure and in the process, rebuilding the city in the image of some surreal new American Dream (OK, just 3 or 4 houses so far… but still). Is this incredibly appealing to anyone else? (via tumblelikeyougiveadamn) (via switchblades) (via alohanico)
Evolution.
