I found a website on the subdivision that includes Saratoga Place (the neighborhood I did my project on) and I wanted to know if it was a good reflection of the actual neighborhood itself.
The first thing i noticed that was a major priority on the website was major concern with making residents feel safe. "Pine Hills Security" is an organization that has the main goal of keeping Pine Hills the safest subdivision in Atlanta. This was a direct reflection of what i observed in the actual neighborhood. I felt completely comfortable walking around by myself. It was peaceful and quiet with many residents outside interacting with one another.
Another resemblance between the site and actual neighborhood is the public place available to the public. It is accurately stated on the site that there are playing fields and areas for walking, which I noticed when I observed the neighborhood. On the site, there was an open invitation for a picnic in the park. It took place on October 4th (Sunday) from 1 to 4 p.m. The goal of this was to have residents to meet each other and interact together. Also, a purpose stated on the site was to "strengthen bonds of community." Another way that people are being brought together is a neighborhood yard sale. When I observed the neighborhood I noticed that people were very proactive with one another. This could be a result of all these planned activities.
This website was a great reflection of the neighborhood because it shows how important safety and the sense of community is. This was made very obvious when I visited the neighborhood. Saratoga, located in Pine Hills, represents the website http://www.mypinehills.org/ very closely.
