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.

Swimming instructor Dani Hendrickson smiles as she is hugged by Charlie Leonard, left, and Isaak Schuerr after playing a game of sneak at the Livingston city pool on Friday, Aug. 19, which was the final day for swim lessons.
While some parents on the sidelines were thinking about their children’s future safety in pools and rivers, the kids were living in the water-soaked moment.
“Whoa! I floated!” a boy yelled during a recent swim lesson at the City of Livingston Pool.
“I know how to motorboat!” shouted another boy.
Young swimmers fluttered about in frothy circles or chased fellow pupils when not directly engaged by their teachers. Instructors gently tempered their enthusiasm and directed attention back to the lessons.
But as any swim teacher knows, high excitement is a given. And that means rolling with the abilities — and attention spans — of each group.
Instructors change tactics frequently, particularly with younger students, alternating between playing games in the water to more focused work on technique.
“No T. rex arms,” teacher Dani Hendrickson said as students swapped short, dog paddle-style movements for long, powerful strokes. “Ballerina, ballerina, big arms!”
“You gotta do different things every minute, and you’re going for 35 minutes,” laughed Sam Ross, an instructor and the pool’s manager.
Throughout the summer, the city offers swim lessons in two-week sessions that run for 35 minutes, five days a week.
“It’s just fun to see how much they grow in two weeks,” Ross said.
Parents said they and their kids miss the occasional lesson but try to make it to each day.
For 9-year-old Jasper Schuerr, even injury couldn’t keep him away. Despite a broken arm, he powered his way through his lesson without missing a stroke.
“Thank goodness for waterproof casts,” his mother Lynelle Schuerr said.
As kids emerged from the pool, they ran to their parents, some of whom watched with coffee cups in hand during the earlier morning sessions while others knitted or talked with fellow adults.
“For safety and confidence, I think it’s good for both,” Dale Dominick said of enrolling daughters Nora, 3, and Perry, 7, in lessons.
Other parents agreed they appreciate having classes available in Livingston so their children learn to swim, equipping them with the skills to be safe whether in a pool or on natural bodies of water.
The children also benefit by becoming more comfortable in the water and feeling accomplishment with completing each level of class, Ross said.
“We learned how to swim and how to put our faces in the water,” Charlie Leonard, 4, said as her parents, JoAnna and John “Buzz” Leonard, waited for her.
But the best part of the lesson? Jumping into the pool, Charlie said.
“And this time, I didn’t even have any help!” she said.
You can return to the special places you discovered before.
Or you return to places where you came from...like Montana.
Of course, places change over time, and Montana is no exception.
Except for my home town of Livingston. It seems to be stuck in a time warp from say, the 1800's? Well, maybe not THAT bad, but much of remains like it did when I left back in the early 80's.
My trips home are usually pretty quiet. I spend a good deal of time at Mom's kitchen table, right here on the Internet, working on blogs, getting a signed contract (yeah!) and almost being bored at the much slower pace of life here out West!
But today, I had a plesant surprise while we were running some morning errands.
Mark's In and Out Drive In. A welcome step back in time....indeed.
Mark's In and Out IS an original 50's drive in located on Park Street in Livingston. They use local beef and make milk shakes from Livingston's own Wilcoxson's ice cream. (If you've had Blue Bell, I think you have NOT tasted ice cream yet....) They are open from March-October.
We decided to stop here for a quick bite of lunch. And it was drive-in food...done GOOD!
My Bacon Mushroom Swiss Burger was not huge ( I opted for the single burger version) but along with the extra crunchy Tater Tots and a sample of Mom's awesome Onion Rings, it was more than enough for a lunch time meal.
If your travel plans (especially driving) bring you to Montana, say for a visit to Yellowstone National Park (the North Entrance is located 50 miles South of Livingston) be sure to make a roadside stop to Mark's In and Out Drive In. It's easy to get to off of I-90 and you'll be glad you took this step back in time.
