All Neighbors in Spring's Coventry
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.

ade the plans for the event so we decided to continue on; or so we thought. A little tropical storm/hurricane called Eduardo complicated our National Night out date. We had the event planned so decided to postpone one week. One week later we found ourselves in the middle of a much needed rainstorm but the weather cleared by late afternoon and we were on.
Night out is to strengthen neighborhood spirit, generate support & participation in anti-crime programs such as Neighborhood Watch; and heighten crime & drug prevention awareness. With that in mind we scheduled 5 safety stations throughout the neighborhood. Our neighbors could begin at the station of their choice. They p
icked up a passport at the first station they attended and then had to have it stamped at each station to be eligible for prizes of five $50 Wal-Mart Gift Cards.
Dane hill/Hawn was serving grilled hot dogs and ice cold water. Precinct 4 Constables were on hand to fingerprint children at this station. As you can tell by the pictures it was another popular station. 
handed out Emergency Contact magnets. The magnets had the Coventry subdivision contact numbers along with emergency contact information.
Each household was allowed one passport. With a subdivision of about 300 homes we had 50 passports handed in. I think that is an INCREDIBLE success for our first National Night Out. We were at the Post Bridge Cul de sac and it was a little bit out of the way but each one of those 50 had to come down our cul-de-sac to get a stamp. For many I think it was the first time to come down an out of the way cul-de-sac but what a GREAT way to meet your neighbors. We had people come walking, walking with strollers, on bikes and by car. 
Coventry is located in Spring Texas; off of Kuykendahl just south of the Woodlands in Harris County. You take Augusta Pines Blvd. about a mile to get to the subdivision. This makes for a very quiet subdivision in that you don't hear any busy street noise. Coventry is located about 35 to 45 minutes from Houston. It is only 5 minutes from Sterling Ridge in the Woodlands.
