[quote=Anonymous]I grew in St. Louis (North County). Our neighborhood was very cliquey and insular. When new people moved in, we would bring them wine and cookies (from an Italian bakery). If they went to our church, it was a big deal. Usually the person was related to someone we new (Irish Catholics). I moved to the father out suburbs as a teen. When my parents moved into new construction, everyone brought us food: casseroles, cakes, cookies. We were good friends with the neighbors next door and I'd go to their house frequently because their daughters were our age. But we wouldn't go in people's homes. My mom had drama with two of our neighbors. Most of the kids played outside in a cul da sac. My neighbors would shovel our snow for all the other neighbors (driveway and walkway) or blow and bag our leaves. My parents would bring them some booze. I live in DC now. When my neighbors move in, I bring them a plant, wine and some cookies from a neighborhood bakery. When we moved in all of our neighbors gave us welcome gifts. [/quote]
