Last night was fairly uneventful. Erin and I missed out meeting up with the Neighborhood Group, so instead we went out and got some ice cream. We walked through Riverside for a bit. We saw a few more people out walking/bicycling than usual, but nothing that I would call out of the ordinary. It's unfortunate that events like this don't get the kind of press they once did. Erin and I talked last night about how years ago neighbors knew their neighbors. They had bar-b-ques, they watched after their kids, they mowed their lawns, they shared stories, etc. My hope is that one day Riverside will be a community like that again. It's perfect for it, especially with all of the young people that we have in the neighborhood now. We just need to get off our asses and walk outside. Say hello once in a while instead of averting your gaze.
Here's hoping.
