Homewood: One 'hood?

Is Homewood one 'hood?

Once upon a time, I thought it would be a good idea to list events in Homewood on the PG's online calendar of events. When I got to the Calendar, I saw that it listed events by neighborhood, and that for Homewood, there were three neighborhood listings: Homewood North, Homewood South, and Homewood West. That gave me pause, for two reasons:

1) I wasn't sure of the boundaries between North, South, and West, so I wasn't sure which events to list where,

2) I did not understand why the PG would subdivide Homewood when I did not see any other neighborhoods subdivided that way.

Later, I realized that the PG's listing of Homewood simply matched the City's neighborhood map, which shows Homewood North, Homewood South and Homewood West.

So, my question is, do residents of Homewood feel like we're all one neighborhood, or do we feel separate? Do we have common concerns and do we want to forge a common future, or do we view either other as aliens, enemies, or competitors for scarce resources? Within Homewood, are we "us," or "us and them?"

What do you think?
