It was a tight community. When we moved to Levittown, PA...it was becoming more and more 2 working parents, and people were busy. In years living there, we barely knew our neigbhors...and today, I know maybe one neighbor to say hi to.

We had it like that as children. Now we don't. Now I am scared to death to let my son roam around the corner of the building let alone chat with people down the street. There are very few that I socialize with here, and that is just barely. I miss that sense of community, too. We had it like that as children. Now we don’t.

Now my husband and I hardly know any of them. It is kinda sad. When I was a kid in Chicago my Mom knew all the neighbors. Now my husband and I hardly know any of them. It is kinda sad.

Oddly enough, the wallpaper in my parents' bedroom had not been changed (30 years later...)That gave me a real pang. I went back into our childhood home, and it was a mistake.
