All Neighbors in Berks County, PA
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.
So Saturday evening we headed to the Texas baseball field in neighbor Birdsboro, PA for a 6:00PM baseball game...we got there about 5:15PM... 
No problem...Lubrano's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant to the rescue...and only 5 minutes from the baseball field... 
I'm telling you, if you live in the Douglassville/Birdsboro area of Berks County Pennsylvania and don't try Lubranos, you're missing the boat...and by the way, we took a good portion of our order home for later enjoyment and left an appreciative tip, and still got out of there at less than 25 dollars...and we made it to the game in plenty of time and no one was rushed!!! 
We're hunkered in as a family riding out the remnants of Hurricane Hanna...Not our usual Saturday afternoon activity...! 
that PA sweet corn...why ruin it...the first middle school scrimmage, fall ball, blogging on Active Rain, fixing things, tomorrows first mites football game, and the Phillies shutout win over the Mets last night... 
The area of Pennsylvania I live in is prolific with magificent vistas...You can look in any direction and be wowed by some part of God's magnificent creation... 
Whatever the case I hope they go away never to return...and quickly...certainly before the upcoming election...before a winning party has a chance to legislate their protection as an endangered species!!!
