I barely know the people in my building and I’ve been there almost 7 years. I think my neighbors would describe me as anti-social. :) I always imagined that I’d get to know neighbors better when I actually owned a place. Have you always been so neighborly or did you become so when you bought a condo?

I have to say, I don’t know many people in my neighborhood. Because I rent, I don’t really spend the time getting to know them. But some woman who lets her cats run around my apartment hallway (public one) in the middle of the night makes me crazy!

What a great post! I loved reading all about the various people in your neighborhood! I just might have to do a similar post on my street (it’s a short little dead end); we’re quite ethnic and interesting for less than 12 houses!!

what an interesting cast of characters!

The non-talking-to neighbors I know best have a porch that overlooks where the main traffic goes to get to the stairs. About 90% of the time, one or both of them is out there smoking. I keep odd hours and can come and go during the week, during business hours. And she’s there. Honestly, does she have a job other than smoking? Not that it bothers me, smoke if you want to on your own porch, but they’re *always* there!

Sadly I’ve never really been one to get to know my neighbors because I know that at some point I’m going to move (since I rent) and what would be the point? Not only that, but my neighbors have moved time and again.

If I ever can afford to get my own place, I’m hoping that will change. Well, I’d also be hoping I have mostly awesome neighbors. :)
