In Praise of Porches during Covid-19 (Repost) by Tina Govan

A celebration of Porches from Porch Placemaking partner Tina Govan:

”Thank God for porches. That place between inside and outside, between public and private, between your house and the street. In our neighborhood recently, we were able to come together in a way made possible only because we have porches. Inspired by the Italians singing on their balconies, we came out to sing, make music, make noise, and connect from a distance. We reaffirmed our community. We were still there for each other. “
