Did you know that the alley is a bonafide nonprofit, has no paid writers, and relies on community members to create what goes in it? For fifty years countless neighbors in and around the Phillips Community have filled the pages of the alley. That’s remarkable to consider! The paper continues to be community driven. The small volunteer crew who gets the paper to press wants to showcase all voices in our little plot of land on this planet. Add your voice to the pages – so many ways to do so:
- Are you a poet? Please allow all of us to enjoy your poems – submit them to the alley.
- Is there a garden with particularly lovely flowers on your morning walk? Snap a picture to brighten everyone’s day.
- Do you have a serial, cliff-hanger story idea set in the community? They have been a big hit in the past – we’d all love to anxiously await each exciting chapter.
- What is happening in your part of the hood? Keep us informed! Neighborhood borders are just lines on a city map afterall.
- Is your child’s school putting on a talent show? What fun! Let us know so we can go cheer the young performers on.
- Need to vent about garbage laying around? We feel ya.
- Did a new business open up around the corner? Spread the word!
- Share your favorite old family recipe.
- Are you a budding artist (or even a famous one)? Show off your work in the alley!
- Does your family have a special holiday you celebrate? Tell us about it.
- There is so much to write about, we could fill the pages for a hundred years!
