Because we have all the blessings of suburbia (driveways, gardens, porches) but are still a 5 minute walk from subway to downtown Boston, I can see the glittering skyline from my cool and welcoming front porch!
I once left my car keys sticking out of my car for over 4 days; no one stole it! I also got them returned to my house — typical of my neighbors. We also help the guy next door crush his grapes and bottle his own homemade wine!
