The Neighborhood Is
I keep thinking I want to write something or say something
about this neighborhood that I have lived in nearly twenty
years but when I really get down to it, the only thing that
comes is: The Neighborhood is. That's it. Whether you're
sitting in front of the bakery drinking coffee or walking
the evening or standing on your front porch watching the
night come in, you're surrounded by this deep sense of place,
of being in a neighborhood, of being spoken to, recognized
when you walk down the street, of meeting faces that lack
that closed city look that is part of so many areas as
crime and distrust grow. People still recognize and greet
each other here and give each other the benefit of the doubt
because we're all part of the neighborhood. You can't put
a price on that, not in these times. So maybe I don't have
to write anything big and inspiring about the neighborhood.
Everyone knows it anyway. Maybe it's just enough to look
around me and think, "Yes, that's it. The neighborhood is."
