I know all my immediate neighbours, and am on more or less friendly terms with them all ... Lots of little neighbourhood things go on, like dropping over for coffee or a beer .... getting together to watch major sporting events on tv ... that means that if it is ppv then only one of us needs to pay .... we ususally get together after a major snow storm to dig and blow out our driveways and sidewalks ... work goes faster and we have often get together for a coffee or a brew afterwards .... apart from that, we still say "hi" to strangers on the street, even if it's just a comment on the weather (in winter "cold enough for ya" and summer "hot enough for ya" or the typical Canadian: "nice day, eh." Kingston is a small city (or a large town), but in general, it is a freindly, neighbourly place.
