All Neighbors in Medford's West Medford
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. Unlike the vast majority of "community" sites that rely on dry automatic algorithms, Localism employs a team of crack editors who approve the best content. Having your posts and photos consistently approved will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
"Legacy" content is also considered when ranking top neighbors. We don't want to leave the early adopters of Localism in the cold, and we're working hard to process that backlog.
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.
Last night, my family and I went to the Original Roadhouse Grill for dinner. This casual, fun restaurant was just the ticket to fill a craving for some mesquite grilled fare. Peanut shells on the floor, open dining room filled with parties of people celebrating an event or enjoying the atmosphere, we weren't alone...AND we happened to be there for Kids Eat Free night, which was an added bonus. We all enjoyed our steaks, ribs and shrimp with various side dishes very much, and the ice cream sundae we shared for dessert has us rolling out of there in contentment when we were done.
When we have a taste for delicious Italian food in a casual family atmosphere, we head down past the Big Black Bird on West Main to Rosario's Italian Restaurant in Medford. Indoor dining and patio dining, whatever floats your boat. Or phone in a To Go order and take a fantastic Calzone and a bottle of wine with you to your Britt Festival Concert under the stars.
