I want to live in a Playborhood

The other night we walked the kids down the road to a neighbor's house and played 3 on 3 basketball in the street. Yesterday some friends and their kids walked by our house and a spontaneous playdate / Kung Fu demo erupted in our driveway. I want more, more, more of this and I know other families in our neighborhood want it, too. More kids on bikes and scooters in the street. More baseball games in the backyard. I want to hear the voices of neighborhood children whooping it up as they chase each other around the yard with squirt guns. I've just stumbled onto a Web site that encourages this kind of behavior: Playborhood. It's inspiring, it's encouraging, it's the neighborhood I want for my kids. And check out this article about a neighborhood summer camp (inspired by Playborhood) that is just so freakin' cool! C'mon summer, bring out the kids!
