Interviewing and Writing – neighbourknowledge.com

My longest tenured writing position was with the local social networking site neighbourknowledge.com. My job was to network with small businesses and conduct interviews, which would be published online and in print.

It was a fun job, a job that required me to meet interesting people and find out what makes them tick. I met a number of characters and learned a lot about the city that I live in.

The site launched in Toronto and Vancouver and although we had the support of users, we never found the corporate support to keep it afloat. It’s a shame, because I look back at this project often and think of what could have been.

Here are some of my favourite interviews that I did for neighbourknowledge.com:

Hilary Morris – Artist, owner or Beaver Pond Creative Productions

Blake Hanacek – Enviromentalist, owner of Agro Cafe

Shanda Jerrett – Owner of Gumdrops

Keith Bickford – Owner of The Comic Shop

Andy Cook – Restauranteur, owner of The Davie Village Cafe
