neighbours?
Do all American neighbours keep themselves to themselves or is it just here in Killeen?
I understand not wanting to share all of your business with each other, but in my street, i think that we are the only ones living here. The only sign that makes me think differently is that i see cars in the drive on an evening then they are gone by the morrow!
I was coming back from my usual morning stroll of taking my step son to school and it hit me! As i hit the corner of our drive, i knew that i had seen the same scene before, yep! the movie Pleasantville!!!!

Re: neighbours?
when we moved to our new neighborhood it did seem quiet compared to our old one so we held a "we'd like to get to know you" party. Just a few nibbles and drinks...everyone had a great time and we're all planning a block party for later in the summer.

Suggest you start mowing your lawn at 5am or 10pm.
You will soon meet your neighbours.

Do you think asking to borrow a cup of sugar will work?

Re: neighbours?
When we first moved here we thought it was a ghost town, mind you it was deep winter.
Summer came, and the flamingo parties started, pink flamingo in the yard, thats the location of the neighbourhood BBQ that evening, just bring a side and booze! Every couple of weeks there would be a gathering.
We meet round the retention pond for fishing and beers, we even got invited to the drag races - yep I'm really pleased with our neighbourhood.
We also have some really good british friends close by, so when the Americans go to bed at 10pm, we carry on
