Those were the days, my lad. 🙄
We had that in my old neighborhood, in the much-maligned Oakland. I had that with a couple of long-time residents when I moved here. But one moved away, the other died. Now it is barely a hand wave in acknowledgement as we come and go, and not even that with the newest.
I accept partial responsibility for that. I haven't really made an outreach effort given my age, mobility issues, health. But then that used to be the magnet that drew the younger neighbors to look after and assist you.
