There's living in a city, and then there's being immersed in the life of the community.
Hoodline analyzed the city's past week on Twitter, focusing on accounts that are devoted to community life — things like parks, animals, healthy living and education. Our goal? To reveal and report on the things that inspired your social media conversations on those topics.
