Citizens Coming Together

There's a thread at AFP I think I should highlight. Someone points out that a repaired railroad crossing wasn't done very well.

Others step up and offer who to contact. Then someone does the research to find out the number of the crossing. At least one person has reported it to the railroad company so far.

So we have citizens pointing out a problem, talking about it, coming up with a solution and following through with it. Next step would be to put the pressure on if nothing's done about it.

Just another small thing at AFP that gives me hope.
