Especially where I live IC!! We all like to help each other out. If one sees someone struggling usually the helping hand is offered. For instances, back in the summer a lady was struggling with her gas cap key lock (she lived in an area of town that was a little rough, someone kept siphoning her gas on her). For the life of the poor woman she just could not get that key to turn (it was stuck) and we offered help, even stood with her for 30 minutes trying to help her. Finally she had to call the boyfriend (found out later it was defective).
My neighbor snow blows my drive way for me, another neighbor brings treats for the dogs, I bake bread for all the neighbors, I feed my war veteran neighbor "Red" across the street every major holiday (Christmas dinner, T-giving, Easter, Halloween... I find excuses to send treats over to him). I feed my neighbor next to us, he babysits when we need it for free (if we're just running out for a quick pick up of stuff). Kids call him uncle. My best girlfriend JJ is my autistic kids best friend (she should be a Special Education teacher, she is awesome with spec kids).
It's amazing how friendly the people are here and helpful but then there are the wild ones too (gotta have a balance right).
