Description
Councilwoman Meg Salyer discusses how to build a better neighborhood with Neighborhood Alliance's Georgie Rasco and Miller Neighbborhood resident Bruce Hall.
She also gets a preview of a special holiday event in the Miller Neighbborhood.
A
A
To
have
you
and
with
her
is
bruce
hall,
I'm
gonna
do
this
right
away.
Bruce
was
the
neighbor
of
the
year
at
this
year's
good
neighbor
banquet
Bruce
lives
in
the
Miller
neighborhood
and
has
done
some
amazing
things
both
for
his
neighborhood
and
for
a
city
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
today,
so
Bruce.
Congratulations
thank.
A
B
Do
have
over
400
organized
neighborhood
associations
in
the
Oklahoma
City
area
and
Miller
I'm,
sorry
to
say,
but
it
has
to
be
one
of
my
favorites,
not
only
because
of
Bruce
who
just
makes
any
where
he
lives
a
fun
place
to
live
because
he's
so
committed
to
his
neighbors.
They
do
a
lot
of
things
in
Miller,
they've,
absolutely
taken
those
old
historic
homes
over
there
and
made
it
into
a
very
sought-after
place
for
people
to
live,
whereas
25
years
ago
people
didn't
really
want
to
live.
B
C
C
C
B
Where
we
encourage
all
neighborhoods
to
do
something
social
in
order
to
prove
that
they're
connected
and
they're
going
to
report
crime
when
they
see
it
and
it's
very
effective
and
Miller-
has
has
wonderful
outings
all
year
long,
not
only
their
neighbors
night
out,
but
they
have
a
fabulous
home
tour
as
well.
That's
Miller
in
May
that
I'm
sure
Bruce
can
tell
us
more
about.
But
it's
a
it's
a
must-have.
It's
a
little
dangerous
I
went
a
few
years
ago
and
it
cost
me
thirty
thousand
dollars
because
I
had
to
go
home
and
remodel.
My
house.
B
A
C
Know
I
think
it's
always
been
in
the
back
of
my
mind,
I've
always
kind
of
wanted
to
do
that.
There
was
a
apartment
complex
to
fourplexes
at
the
intersection
of
Northwest
12th,
and
villain
always
thought
that
those
could
be
really
great
if
somebody
would
take
the
time
and
put
some
money
into
them
and
well,
a
few
years
later.
That's
what
you.
A
C
George
is
talking
about
our
home
tour
I'd,
like
to
mention
we
have
our
Miller
mantle
and
treat
or
which
is
our
christmas
tour
coming
up,
December,
seventh
and
what
that
is,
is
five
or
six
of
our
neighbors
open
up
their
homes.
Basically,
their
living
rooms
to
show
all
of
our
fireplace
mantels
are
different
from
mostly
frankoma
tile
in
the
fireplaces
and.
A
C
A
C
Year
started
out,
this
is
only
our
fourth
year
to
do
this.
It
started
out
just
as
a
neighborhood
thing
and
people
said
well,
let's
do
for
a
fundraiser,
for
you
know
we
need,
as
so
many
neighborhoods
need,
more
lighting
for
our
neighborhood.
So
that's
where
the
money
goes,
and
last
year
we
had
over
a
hundred
people,
for
you
know
a
couple
hours
of
being
open
so.
C
C
A
Fantastic
Georgie,
that
is
a
neighborhood
I,
mean
what
we've
seen
happen
in
Miller
in
it.
You
know
everything
just
from
the
sheer
camaraderie
of
it
and
social
events
to,
as
you
say,
a
complete
180
degree
turnaround
in
a
neighborhood
that
one
wouldn't
have
wanted
to
live
in
before
that.
One
is
incredibly
desired.
Howdy
neighbors
get
started
in
this
kind
of
a
project,
and
you.
B
Know
if
you,
if
you
have
that
question
at
all-
and
you
want
some
help,
absolutely
call
us
at
neighborhood
alliance.
We
have
a
workshop,
the
first
Tuesday
of
every
month
on
how
to
organize
your
neighborhood
association.
You
don't
have
to
know
anything
other
than
I
want
life
to
be
better
for
me
and
my
neighbors
and
I'd
like
for
my
property
values
to
increase.
If
you
want
those
things,
we
can
certainly
help
you
try
to
get
there,
but
it's
not
an
overnight
success.
B
It
doesn't
mean
you're
going
to
get
people
together
in
a
room
and
while
all
the
next
day
things
have
happened,
it
takes
a
lot
of
effort,
as
Miller
can
tell
you,
they
had
to
work
hard
to
get
where
they're
at
today,
but
it
absolutely
pays
off
in
the
long
run.
All
of
us
deserve
to
live
someplace
where
we
have
somebody
on
our
block
that
can
pick
up
our
mail
if
need
to
or
give
us
a
ride
to
work
if
our
car
won't
start,
but
we
have
to
work
making
that
happen
these
days.
C
C
I'd
like
to
piggyback
on
what
Georgie
said
it
takes
a
village,
it
really
takes
a
village,
we
have
people
that
are
very
active
and
want
to
be
in
everything.
We
have
people
that
are
a
lot
of
people
behind
the
scenes.
We
have
people
that
pick
up
the
newsletters.
We
have
people
that
deliver
on
their
blocks.
We
had
people
to
set
up
at
advance,
we
have
you
know
we
have
the
home
tour
we're
talking
about.
We
have
the
Miller
in
May
our
big
home
tour,
which
is
very
nice.
We
have
a
fourth
of
July
parade.
C
A
C
B
Lots
of
resources
out
there
to
help
you.
It's
not
just
neighborhood
alliance,
we're
kind
of
the
umbrella
group
that
we're
going
to
help
you
find,
but
there
are
lots
of
organizations
out
there
that
have
volunteers
that
are
willing
to
come
to
your
neighborhood
and
help.
You
are
some
of
the
seniors
in
your
neighborhood
to
fix
up
their
homes,
their
home
rehab
programs
that
you
can
let
your
neighbors
know
about.
There
are
lots
and
lots
of
programs
that
the
city
has
and
lots
of
wonderful
employees
at
the
city
willing
to
help.
A
So
these
fall
into
the
category
of
the
thing
I
love
best,
which
are
public-private
partnerships
right
right,
because
the
city
certainly
can't
do
it
all,
but
we
do
have
some
resources
and
we
have
access
so
lots
of
services
and
connections
to
help
you.
So
it
said
to
me
these
things
are
always
just
win-win
for
everybody.
Yeah.
A
That
opportunity
Georgie
one
of
the
other
things
I
think
is
so
important
and
we're
really
beginning
to
see
now
is
the
connectivity
between
neighborhoods
and
I
know
you
guys
relate
to
when
you've
worked
with
the
plaza
district.
Some
we've
got
all
the
wonderful
neighborhoods
that
stack
up
with
gatewood
and
crestwood
in
las
vegas,
which.
A
Fills
that
it's
just
wonderful
great
and
you
travel,
you
travel
a
lot.
I
know
Carolyn's
traveled,
quite
a
bit
and
taking
photographs
and
interested
in
bringing
some
sort
of
best
practices
or
good
ideas
from
other
parts
of
the
country.
To
us.
We
think
about
that
strip
along
may
Avenue
that,
as
was
twenty-third,
Street
and
some
other
areas
once
bustling
retail
corridors,
and
you
know
the
opportunity
to
bustling
again
bring.
B
I
think
what
people
forget
is
that
they
don't
realize
that
it's
people
just
like
us
that
are
making
those
decisions-
it's
not
necessarily
planners
and
and
City
Council
members,
even
though
they're
very
important
in
the
process.
The
original
idea
very
often
came
from
just
a
group
of
neighbors
sitting
around
their
kitchen
table,
and
then
they
were
able
to
with
through
tenacity
and
calling
around
and
finding
out.
How
do
I
do
this?
Just
like
Carolyn
contacting
you
today.
That's
how
some
of
these
fabulous
ideas
in
Oklahoma
City
got
started
in
our
that
we're
enjoying
today.
A
Know
a
few
people
it's
you
know
that
wonderful
quote:
never
doubt
that
one
person
can
change.
In
fact,
we're
a
small
group
of
people
can
change
the
world.
In
fact,
it's
the
only
thing
that
ever
does
right.
It
is
so
true
and
in
the
concept
of
neighborhood
revitalization-
and
you
know,
growing
strong,
neighborhoods
and
connecting
with
commercial
districts.
It's
you
know
it's
the
way
of
the
future,
I
think
for
the
city,
which
is
funny
because
it's
sort
of
the
way
back.
A
We
had
these
vibrant,
thriving
neighborhoods
in
the
inner
city
and
over
the
years
for
lots
of
reasons.
Some
of
that
dissipated
and
I
think
that
tremendously
exciting
thing.
For
me,
it's
my
just
my
joy
to
see,
but
it's
also
incredibly
important
to
what's
going
on
in
Ward
6.
So
thank
you.
Bruce
for
coming.
I'm
gonna
put
the
whole
this
up
again.
Good.
