did some reporting. and people i talked to said you know what happened is we became less reliant on the city and police, and we did what they re doing here today. they formed neighborhood watch groups. and that s changed how we live. it forced us to go back 40 years and know our neighbors more so. and i kind of see that same thing happening here, which is interesting. everywhere i go, somebody is forming some kind of a group. you know, that doesn t necessarily solve the problem, but it shows you that people are trying to do something. and they re getting engaged with one another, their neighbors, with people in their church, and they re saying okay, how can we use our organization, our neighborhood to do something good. for some, community watch groups conjure up images of nosy neighbors peering tout window. some stocktonians are in the market for something a little more adventurous. hey, man. come on in. how are you?
