Share your experiences crossing New Hampshire Avenue for a research study

Two local scholars are studying safety along New Hampshire Avenue and are looking for your input.

No matter our differences as people, we all have one thing in common: at one time or another, we are all pedestrians. My colleague and I are conducting a survey to hear what people have to say about crossing New Hampshire Avenue in Petworth so that we can better understand the lived experiences of diverse pedestrians in our neighborhood.

I have created a survey for you to help me as I work to transition the Greater Grant Circle and the Petworth listservs to a new platform. As I was putting it together, I wondered at the option of merging these two listservs and reducing email clutter (and hey, no lie here, reducing my administrative work…).

Are you happy with your cable and cell phone companies? Take a survey! [Update: survey closed]

Are you happy with your cable and cell phone companies? Take a survey! [Update: survey closed]

Every few months, someone sends an email to the area listservs asking for advice on what cable TV or cellphone company people like. I figured it was a good idea to get everyone's opinion and publish this for neighbors to get an idea of what others like, dislike and how much they're paying.

The information you submit will be published anonymously (no name or email will be published or shared with anyone). This isn't a sponsored post, and no company will see the results... unless they read the blog, naturally.

So share your thoughts!
