(15,771 posts)I live in a rural Mtn town and have gotten to love my little neighborhoods, the locals up here watch out for eachother to some extent because of regular snow issues and power outages... but sometimes it's just the coolness of realizing the guy with the snowblower across the street has just cleared your walk before you even got your boots on
we have an older lady on the street that has cancer, me and the kids always check in on here ot keeop her spirits up too.
I miss the closeness of my old growing up neighborhood, the one older lady had a toy drawer and we all knew where it was...so when the moms stopped by for coffee, we'd go amuse ourselves, or play in her huge backyard... all the parents seemed to know eachother too, and we had neighborhood kids over for parties...unfortunately, while i have nice neighbors, they are nowhere near that memory.
but ya, people, man...that's where the Heart is, right?
