Here in dinkycoldville (Fargo, right around 100k) I live in an old house that's been converted into six apartments. I know every one of my neighbors by their first name, including the elderly couple who live in the house next door.
Four out of the seven other people who live here, regularly come to hang in "Larryland" (it's on my door), and the two noobs who just moved in, have already been invited to join us around the fire pit on summer evenings...
I still maintain friendships with at least four people who formerly lived here.

There's one I won't hang out with at all, he's on the long list...

I regularly patrol the yard & boulevard to keep trash at bay...the ghetto is right across the street in two directions, but I'll keep it there as long as possible.

All in all, I feel like a pretty lucky guy.

And yeah, we did jack hell outta this thread, my apologies Mark...
