Play Streets Long Beach

@Angela46951592 @LongLeaps @oarchibald @JonathanMerritt @Hillsong Did you see that Donald Trump Junior said his dad misspoke. Trump wants power and is willing to use violence (the Proud Boys) when he needs them. They are waiting for his word. They are very fine people.

@LongLeaps @oarchibald @JonathanMerritt @Hillsong “I’m willing to do anything, I want to see peace... stand back, stand by (and don’t be violent.)”

My thoughts? I agree with the @Hillsong employee who forgot they were still logged into the church account when they decided to pop off on Twitter. (Now deleted.)

Children’s play is a child chosen and child directed activity. #playstreets #playingout #play

Q: What happens when you crop community development off the end of Asset-Based Community Development #ABCD ? A: You get a MacDonald’s version of #ABCD, called Asset Based Approaches. There can be no authentic *AB* without *CD*, nor can there be community driven CD w/o AB (IMHO).

What would your neighborhood be like if neighborliness not busyness was the new normal? #abcd

Our neighbor came over for breakfast with her gorgeous owl! Did you know every block is filled with so many gifts, passions, & wisdom. These gifts are to be shared for mutual relationship. I am always surprised & filled with gratitude when gifts are discovered and shared! #abcd

Play is here to stay! #playstreets #play #playingout

Great work!

Huh. People with strong religious ties less likely to choose name brand products that are used for self-expression Brands: The Opiate of the Nonreligious Masses? web-docs.stern.nyu.edu/pa/erdem_brand…

This podcast is part two of our conversation with John McKnight. starfirecincy.org/cincibility/20…

Children don’t choose to be inactive - we have made them so. The solution is simple: safer streets where they can play, walk and cycle every day. bbc.com/news/health-50…

@livable_city @pasi_sahlberg @LongBeachCity @playingout @StrongTowns After every Play Street, both children and kids respond, when can we do this again? ;)

@playstreetslb @pasi_sahlberg @LongBeachCity @playingout @StrongTowns So sad, time to get kids back outside onto safe streets meeting other kids in real life.

From the book: Let the Children Play. @pasi_sahlberg #playingout #playstreets

@BrianAddisonLB @SnoopDogg @metrolosangeles Too good for Long Beach? #bowwowwow

Pretty rad: @SnoopDogg will serve as emcee for the re-opening of @metrolosangeles's A Line (forever and ever the Blue Line, amen). The only bummer? He'll be appearing solely in DTLA's celebration, which will be live screened to those here in Long Beach. bit.ly/32XsoIm

“We can sew!” Asset-Based Community Development in the classic film The Three Amigos. When building community: focus first on what’s strong not what’s wrong. #abcd

@livable_city Thanks, I will check it out.

@playstreetslb Really hope you enjoy it! If it interests you, you can meet others in the community by joining our discussion group facebook.com/groups/theliva…

Looking forward to this podcast. We need it! 🔥

Play Streets LB seeks to reduce the loneliness and social isolation through the building of small scale, block level relationships and through the simple enjoyment of resident-led free play in residential streets. #playingout #playstreets

City Blocks and neighborhoods are transformed when neighbors are given the excuse to get to know and enjoy their neighbors on their own street. @playstreetslb is simple and sustainable, that’s why we do it. youtu.be/izl9QlqMNbg #playstreets #playingout
