Sense Of Community

A sense of community in your neighborhood. As a kid (2nd grade ish), I used to walk over to my friends, and we played in each other’s backyards. We learned how to bike together, would “explore” the woods between yards, and play with the older middle schoolers.
A lot of paranoia kinda ended that. The DC sniper shooting, fear of kidnappers, it all kinda hit at once. Well, that and cicada season. After that summer, people around here kinda kept to themselves more.
