Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
I’ve been working part-time in Watertown now for some 3 years – first as a newspaper delivery man, then as a realtor. I’ve had plenty of occasions to visit the Watertown Meat Center on Main Street, but on several occasions as I walked to the center, I noticed a bustling patio full of people enjoying a nice day out, eating lunch with friend and family, or having a business get-together at the Sweet Basil Café and Deli, located directly across from the Watertown Public Library. 
While I did not take the time on that day to enjoy the ambiance, the Sweet Basil Café and Deli is truly a cute and quiet little spot to enjoy an afternoon break – read a book, sip some tea, and partake of some delectable food.
