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.
A good friend decided to treat me to lunch last week. She took me to a place I would never have found on my own, 
Hunter's Head Tavern is little known to those outside the horse and hunt community. However, I would highly recommend an afternoon, or evening out, for a complete change of pace. As you sit inside and hear the creaking of the old wood floors, and see the simple candle sticks on the tables, you would not be surprised at all to see a famous Colonial American walk into the room, like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. It's just got that feel to it.
