Just a generation ago, the front porch was the place where families gathered to escape the confinement and heat inside. It was where hair was braided and cut, parents reflected on the day that was and made plans for the one ahead. It was where a better tomorrow was dreamed. The front porch was the place where neighbors and strangers were greeted with a friendly wave. It was the place where life was discussed and lived.

Join us on a conversational journey from the Front Porch of our Oak Park, Sacramento community.
