QotD: Won't You Be My Neighbor?

What are your neighbors like? (The ones you live near or next to, not the ones in your Vox neighborhood!)

On our right is a woman who lives alone. She's very nice most of the time unless you let her snide remarks about how long it takes us to clean up our yards get to you. She's a gardener and it kills her that we've let the backyard fall apart. We're working on it but we're novice at this stuff.

On our left is where the trouble is. We're going to put up a privacy fence in their honor. Husband and wife live in the main house while her son and girlfriend (they're almost in their 30s) live in their backyard (which is by no means large enough to house an additional family)...in a trailer. Now that I've painted that pretty picture for you imagine them drunk and up all night most nights of the week during the Spring and Summer. I was very excited for Spring to be here...and then I remembered them. We all hibernate in the Winter but I could still hear their cat calls at 2 a.m most nights coming home from the bars. Their bottles and cans end up in our backyard. Hopefully that won't happen with a six foot wall between us.

Across the street are an adorible old man and his wife. They're sweet and very nice. He's very ill but still takes a walk every day and tries to do most of the outside work. They're the matriarchs of the block. In the winter everyone goes over and helps shovel their walk and drive way. It's really cool to see people come together like that.

We're looking at moving. Mainly becasue of the family on our left but also because behind their house is a bar. This is the bar they go to every night but also the neighborhood crack bar. You know, the ones only locals dare to go into and not even many of them because they know how bad it is? It gets worse and worse and it's just not worth having Nathan live so close too. Hopefully in a year or so we'll be able to get this house together and ready to move out. :)
