My version of today's CJ Neighborhoods section included a series of articles under the headline "What You Love About Your Neighborhood". Forum member Jesse Hendrix-Inman penned the piece on her beloved Schnitzelburg. She's a recent transplant to the 'hood. I especially liked the last paragraph:
...It is a place where your neighbor will reach over the fence to share a harvest of heirloom tomatoes. It is a place where the community gets together once per year to vote on the No. 1 Citizen, someone who deserves recognition for contributions to the neighborhood. It is a place where you can taste history in a Check's hamburger or a Mazzoni's rolled oyster. Schnitzelburg is a place where neighbors are proud of their heritage, and they don't mind sharing it with newcomers.
Way to go, Jesse!
I love Schnitzelburg, too, and one day I'm going to actually remember the date(s) of the Schnitzelburg Walk and attend. Last week, we lunched at Check's and walked across the street to the newish(?) bar in the "old Heintzman's bakery" for a beer.
