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.
It was perfect weather for this 3-day annual event that Started on August 1st and ended on August 3rd, 2008. Everyone was there! Or at least it seemed like it.
We finally tore ourselves away from our comfortable view setting and joined in with the crowds at the 40th Annual Art on the Green and Street Fair.
Families and people young and old crowded the Parks, Sidewalks and Streets meeting, greeting, window shopping and Buying. You could by anything from Fine art to Folk Art, Gemstones to dough art, silver to wrought iron, glass works to pottery, wood carvings to paper castings. The choices were unending.
We enjoyed street musicians and bands playing in the bandshell.
The Taste of the Coeur d'Alene's has come and gone. If you missed it, you'll have to wait untill next year. But it's worth the wait. 
Once you got your food you could sit and bask in the sun on the sandy beach of Lake Coeur d'Alne, sit in the park and listen to bands playing in the Pavilian, watch a basketball game, enjoy watching the children play in the elaborate playground, people watch or walk the Art Walk.
