Nextdoor is a private social network that connects people based on where they live. The website allows Woodruff neighbors to get to know each other, and help each other out. To join, members must register their address and verify it through a postcard sent to their home, a phone call to their publicly listed residential number or a credit card purchase to their billing address. From there, the site is a lot like Facebook. Members create a profile, sharing photos and other details about themselves, and can post comments and updates to the neighborhood news feed. They can also use the site to buy, sell and trade personal goods, as on Craigslist, and recommend businesses, much like Yelp. That information is archived and searchable, unlike traditional e-mail groups.

Once There Was A City
is available in the Indianapolis Room at the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library on VHS only.  It was produced in the mid-1990s and narrated by Fred Karrasch.  According to the description, it shows the development of Woodruff Place from its beginnings to present day (which was in the 1990s). This film may not be checked out.
