There are next door neighbors and there are good Samaritan neighbors.Â
I have met both kinds. I have lived in the city and I have lived back
in the sticks so far they had to pipe the sunshine in. Even lived in a
trailer park a couple of times. I have had good neighbors in every
instance. Guess it's a good thing I never lived in the 'burbs or had a
garage door.

Terry, I lived for 30 years in the suburbs and knew
fewer of my neighbors than I know here in the city after just 4 years.Â
The suburbs were snobbish and cold. Itâs a much friendlier place for a
variety of reasons. Closer proximity. Not separated by vast lawns and
electric garage door openers and private back yards. Here we walk to
the local restaurants, shops, and Forest Park. Last night my 12 yr old
daughter and I spent an entire evening with our dog eating outside at a
couple of restaurants (one for dinner, and another for ice cream J ) and reading and talking and people watching, and in
the process made the acquaintance of several new people from all over.Â
I LOVE city life. Izzy
