It’s all about the neighborhood
I'll be at the Petworth Farmer's Market on Saturday, October 21st from 9:30am - 1pm selling the Glad You're Our Neighbor signs, as well as Proud to Live in a Sanctuary City and Love Lives Here -- and Petworth magnets!

But a friend and I came up with a solution, a new company called Stand Up! Signs — because right now is the wrong time to sit down and be quiet.
Read MoreThe response to the "glad you're our neighbor" yard signs has been pretty amazing. When I posted to the blog we sold out. Then TV channels ran stories, and NPR did a national story. And we've been inundated with requests from across the country for signs.

I saw a great sign in a neighbor's yard this week, and posted a photo to Instagram. I received a lot of questions from readers on how they can buy the same sign. Turns out, local resident Conrad Gross produced the signs based off the design originally created by the Immanuel Mennonite church in Harrisonburg, Virginia. And you can get one if you want one.
