When we moved to Mo-town,...Ditto what Leslie said. When we moved to Mo-town, the neighborhood we lived in was talked up as if it *were* such an enclave. At the time, that sounded heavenly, after living on a busy one-way four-lane in a dodgy area of Greeley, where I never knew any of my neighbors except the guy who lived in the house on one side of us and ran his business out of the house on the other side of us. <br /><br />After three years, though, I'm actually relieved that--far from being the faculty ghetto/commune I was expecting and hoping for--the practice here is much more of the quick-wave-and-go-about-your-business variety.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223441754197927551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344981180035127840.post-88128007421518220042010-08-30T03:23:59.899-07:002010-08-30T03:23:59.899-07:00I hear ya. When our nearby co-housing neighbors me...I hear ya. When our nearby co-housing neighbors mention music recitals and Sunday dinners and bee keeping, I get a little pang of envy. To be surrounded by so many engaged spirits! But then I think of a few of my ways I prefer to accept without commentary (TV, frozen pizzas, our dog's collar), and I have to concede that that sort of arrangement would drive me nuts. More power to 'em, though.lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00274006008564412040noreply@blogger.com
