Who's That' is a simple block club methodology that facilitates neighbor interaction. Traditional block clubs are often created to mobilize around issues affecting their communities. Who's That' is different in that it places emphasis on neighborhood sociability for its own sake.

They invited us into their homes, told us about themselves, and were happy to participate. A couple of our neighbors even fed us and invited us to parties.
