I stumbled on this on Twitter not long ago, which was perfect timing since the site just opened today: http://www.byriverside.com
It's an interesting summer project. The premise is that he goes to Riverside Park and nearby areas and meets interesting people then blogs about them. It's a fascinating idea. I've thought about interviewing local folks for this site but my people skills aren't up to the task. So I'm very interested in watching what he makes of this site.
So check it out. A new way to meet your "neighbors" online. The web is a small world.
