It’s a throwback really, to the way life used to be: neighbor helping neighbor, knowing those who live on your block, pitching in when anyone needed assistance. The MPD is helping restore that strong sense of community through the Good Neighbor Project, an outgrowth of what was once community crime watch programs. In this podcast Crime Prevention Officer Tyler Grigg and Midvale Heights Good Neighbor Project leader Wendy Reichel talk about the upcoming Good Neighbor Night, which will be open to all who want to get involved in projects in their neighborhoods. Good Neighbor Night will be February 18th, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at High Point Church, 7702 Old Sauk Rd.
