Neighbors. Unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere, you are going to deal with neighbors. Of course, there are good points to having neighbors, and there are drawbacks.
Among the advantages of having neighbors is that, with the right neighbors, you can really have a sense of community. And, you have someone close (but not too close) in the event of an emergency. Over time, neighbors can also become great friends. Of course, they also make great fodder for sit-coms (think Kramer, Wilson, the Ropers).
On the downside, even though you aren’t living with them, sometimes it may seem like that. Bad music, strange smells and odd behavior somehow permeate walls - no matter how thick.
While we know it can be a mixed bag, today we are going to focus on the positive. And, there is a lot of it out there. It seems that blizzard-like conditions can bring out the best in many.
Here’s what you had to say about your neighbors in your words - in 140 or less.
