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.

Hay is a favorite photography subject for me because there are many farms in the area. I just took a look at Google and it seems I am not alone.
The first time I saw a bale of hay I had no idea as to what it would be used for. Since then I have found out how important it is to the food supply, since hay is a form of food for livestock.
I am sure as a kid you were told not to look directly at the sun and with good reason, it could damage your eyes. This advice is also true for adults.
On the day I took this shot I saw the shining sun and was also captivated by the clouds, this scene was right over one of my favorite spot the Hudson River.
Okay I listened to the advice, I took an aim put look the other way.
I recently chatted with Lisa Platti, co-owner with her husband Brad Renner of Cue-2-Go. I found out that their business has been around for quite some time, and, actually there are 3 businesses.
Brad and Lisa met at a catering service they both worked for and after a bit of match-making attempts by the owner they got married.
Since Brad was a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America it was natural for he and Lisa to aspire to own their own food business; this all came to fruition in 1986. Lisa made a point of telling me they started Renner's Creative Celebrations, Inc. the catering portion of their business in January and what was significant about that was that this time of year is in the dead of winter, so for the first several months very little happened. Since then they have catered many events ranging from an event for just two up to events with 800 in attendance. On one occasion, they did a wedding anniversary dinner for a couple who could not go out for dinner.
Then, ten years ago, they decided to add to the business by starting Renner's Creative Cuisine an on-line business to sell all the wonderful deserts, rubs, salsas and chutneys that Brad made. Of course, I had to ask for example of an item that sells well. Lisa told me that the walnut diamond desert cake was a hot item and she walked over to a counter and brought back a piece for me to try. I, too, thought it was very good. She also mentioned that men especially loved the smoked pickled Jalapeno, because it is both hot and smoked. They have much repeat business and have clients who buy large quantities year after year.
Then, three years ago they decided to add more products. Both Brad and Lisa love barbecue so this was an easy choice. They converted a refrigerator into a smoker and that is how Cue-2-Go was launched. Now, people stop by to pick up all sorts of barbecue meals. This is actually how I was introduced to the business - my son loves barbecue. When I was planning a menu for his graduation party he requested that I incorporate some of Brad and Lisa‘s barbecued meats.
