Borrowing a rake or cup of sugar used to be a matter of just stopping by your neighbor's apartment. Now even that's gone online, thanks to a new service launching in Los Angeles called NeighborGoods. The brainchild of L.A. Derby Dolls player and former Revver director Micki Krimmel, NeighborGoods builds on the Craigslist and Freecycle models, using a hyper-local bent and the idea of borrowing or renting what you need, rather than selling or trading for keeps.
