Based on my experience, many of the most popular clubs are those based on where you grew up, where you lived for a whole bunch of years, or where you call "home."

As a native St. Louisan, as well as a 45-or-so-year resident, I attend almost every St. Louis Club event. Many members also attend the Central States Cub - that's two parties every month!

But, I grew up in Boston and on Cape Cod, so I enjoy the Cape Cod & Islands Club!

When I first came to TV in early 2005, the biggest clubs were often those concentrating on one's Village or neighborhood. Membership in my local club has declined severely in the intervening years - no one's quite sure why - but we suspect that folks have found too many other interests!

If you check out Saturday's Mix supplement to the Daily Sun you'll also see many stories about gatherings of neighbors - a street, a villa complex, maybe several close-by streets. They always sound like fun people!
