Porch culture diffusion index
Worthwhile mag's Rebecca Ryan's latest "Cool Community" post posits sidewalk-facing porches as a community-enabling technology. Me too.
My neighborhood is not only rife with veranda-sized porches, it hosts a porch decorating contest as part of the annual block party. Does that make Springfield a cool community? Only if you live here. Northampton will tell you they have a lock on that designation in these parts (but we definitely have them out-porched).
So is this a bona fide trend? Debra Galant photo-blogged her porch. Technorati is showing 156 blogs with "front porch" posts in the last week. So far, Blogdex is mostly picking up on back porches (in a don't-go-there kind of way) except for porch bands and porch boots.
