All posts in the topic Great Neighbors (Short link)
From the department of: For What It's Worth I received a message from my neighbor this afternoon with a bit of concern about a stranger by the house. I forwarded the message to my wife and she had a similar reaction. Something about the situation seemed as both said: "creepy." Here are the details, just in case: Got out of a late model Toyota Sienna - beige in color with Minnesota plates. Couldn't see what the number was. Parked in front of our house, then proceeded to spend about 5 minutes walking up our street to Sherren, then back while smoking and looking strange - did I mention creepy!?!? Got in his vehicle, did a Y turn and left. I've never seen him or the car before. In addition to senses being heightened, I find the exchange interesting from a couple of different ways: * I find that part of living in a community is looking out for one another * In our overly-sensitive society where there seems to be so much concentration on keeping your nose out of other people's business, I appreciate a neighbor taking an interest. With a real possibility that Spring will come, I am looking forward to some neighborhood get-togethers. Wondering if anyone else has had any experience arranging or participating in a "Neighborhood Watch" program? http://www.usaonwatch.org/
