Do Sedalians Know Their Neighbors Anymore? [POLL]

You might not remember this, but a few years back I bought my childhood home from my father. He lives with Boyfriendo and I, and we've settled in nicely. 

So while I know Kathy, my next door neighbor, and Mr Burke across the street, and Christian and his family opposite the alley... I can't say I know any of my other neighbors.

According to a new study, over half of us don't trust our neighbors . . . and more than a quarter don't even know who they are. The survey also found that only 34% try to welcome new neighbors . . . one in ten are suspicious when people move in . . . and 14% are less trusting of people from "outside their communities."

In my childhood here in Sedalia, we knew the people next door, we knew the people in the house next to that and we knew the people across the street. Mrs Defenbach would keep us line! Mr Robinson would let me know if he saw my cat.  So I thought to myself, why don't I know my neighbors? My mother probably would have gone over and introduced herself, but I think we're in a different time.  I think if I knocked on my neighbor's door, I'd be bothering them.  And, they might think, "Who's that freak at my door, are they coming to steal my cookies?"  They might be right, you never know.

So I wanted to ask you guys about it - do you know your neighbors?  Do you know them just by name, or do you know them pretty well?  Do you even know their names?   Do you want to know?  Tell me about it.

Neighborly yours,
Behka
