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).

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

LBUSD to consider opening some campuses after hours, but it could be expensive

Opening every non-high school campus on weekends during the school year could cost schools and the district about $1.8 million, but the district is eying a partnership with the city to share costs.

“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. #abcd – at Long Beach, CA

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. #playingout #playstreets

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. youtu.be/izl9QlqMNbg #playstreets #playingout

We are not fans of Halloween trunk or treats. They take away the connections in the neighborhood. #playingout #playstreets
