“I think it’s important to connect with your neighbors. A neighborhood often is anchored by schools and activities that as we were growing up were central to our neighborhood. Today, we do not have that luxury because our children go to different schools and we don’t have the same sorts of activities. That gap has been filled by the neighborhood magazine. Stroll has brought us back together, whether you’re a young family or older.

 

“It gives you an idea of what’s going on around you, gives you a resource, gives you sense of belonging. Connection with each other is so important. When I open the magazine, I find new people I didn’t know, understand things about those people that I find to be interesting – their claim to fame, what they do, or what their passion is.”
