As I was learning about Ralston, one thing that stood out to me was the lack of an official community center to coordinate gatherings for people with similar interests and help more people interact with one another in a common space. Since Ralston seems to be such a socially connected community, I believe this could help more people try new things and find common interests in the community, thus becoming a staple “contact zone” within the community.
