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.

You may not have heard of E.B. Reece...yet. But, trust me, you will. 
The self-described "small town girl," a mere 19-years old, grew up in Ellijay. Her songs -- most of which she writes herself -- reflect an innocent sensibility shaded with humor, love, and angst. E.B.'s talent shimmers off of her like the spotlight off her long, blond hair and her determination to make it in the music business is palpable. 
from Blue Ridge. It brought to mind the wonderful time I recently had 
butternut squash soup, mixed greens, shrimp & grits, and strawberry shortcake. The long table was lit by candleabras, and candle chandeliers hung from tree limbs. Through the trees you could see the colorful Gypsy Faire Sleeping Tents lit up, inviting you to go visit them in all their 'Arabian Nights' splendor.
