kicksavedave my neighborhood is pretty friendly, we have a big rib cook-off every summer and a soup contest each winter on our street. I am in fact a judge on the rib cook-off. So we are well accepted here, I was speaking more along the deep friendships. It’s not uncommon to walk around with a beer in your hand on Friday’s visiting the others hanging around outside.
So my actual neighborhood is quite friendly, so to a degree I’ll disagree with the original poster, but I am also saying the lasting type friendships do not seem as easy to come by.
