[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in West End.  It’s very family friendly.  We have a mix of kids that attend public and private.  Kids can ride their bikes or walk to RTC.  In my neighborhood, there are a few 2nd generation home owners meaning they grew up in the house they are now raising their kids in.  The now adults still say hello to the people their parents age by saying “Hello Mrs Jones”.  It’s what they’ve always called that person.

Friday night are fire pit happy hour.  Everyone gets together at someone’s house, we order pizza, adults chat and the kids and dogs play. [b] It’s grown to the point that on Friday nights the streets get blocked off around 7.  If you live on the blocked off street and come home after they’ve been blocked, you either park on another street and walk home or move the cones and drive slowly.[/b]  Most likely your kids are already playing on the street with their friends so people don’t get annoyed by the street being blocked.

Once a month there is a neighborhood book club meeting.  We live near a city park and the neighbors often meet up there.  The park has a huge field that very rarely is used.  People bring their dogs to the field on a leash and if the field is empty let the dogs run off leash.

When I walk the dog I always run into people.  We stop and chat.  Everyone seems to know everyone.  When a neighbor had a heart attack in the middle of the day, the neighborhood was organized to deal with her kids and animals before school let out.  She is a single mom.  I’m very happy here.[/quote]

I am in the West End as well and agree with most of this description.  We are very happy.

But to clarify, I have never seen a street blocked off by cones on a Friday night, ever.  This may have happened on the particular block PP lives on, but I don't want OP to think that the streets all typically shut down....[/quote]
