I have to say I L-O-V-E my neighborhood. First this morning I went to the gym, which is a cool little gym with very friendly other people and employees. It just opened last month but I'm starting to see the same people there every day. I had a nice little conversation with one of the trainers. then I went across the street to the awesomest denstist ever. I swear, I love this guy. I actually look forward to going to the dentist. he is just great, if the whole world were as friendly as my dentist, there would be world peace. Then I went down the street to the lesbian coffee shop. I swear some of those girls would be damn cute if they were guys, and they make this WICKED AWESOME almond latte thing...
anyway, then I had to come to work. Some days I just wish I could hang out in my neighborhood all day. best places to hang out and cool people.
what about your neighborhood?

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day
(a blue muppet, I believe, walks onstage)
[Bob: Oh, hi there, little fella.]
[Anything Muppet #1: Hello.]
[Bob: Hey, listen, know who you could be if I gave you this little hat and this bag to go over your shoulder?]
[Anything Muppet #1: I could be a laundry man.]
[Bob: No, not a laundry man.]
[Anything Muppet #1: How about Santa Claus?]
[Bob: No no no, not Santa Claus.]
[Anything Muppet #1: What's wrong with Santa Claus?]
[Bob: There's nothing wrong with Santa Claus, but...]
[Anything Muppet #1: Don't you like Christmas?]
[Bob: Oh, I love Christmas. But you could be the postman.]
[Anything Muppet #1: A postman, hmmmm ...]
Oh, the postman always brings the mail
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail
I'll work and work the whole day through
To get your letters safe to you
Bob and Anything Muppet #1:
'Cause a postman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
A postman is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day
[Anything Muppet #1: I'll see you around.]
[Bob: Okay.]
(AM#1 leaves, bumped into AM#2 as he enters)
[Anything Muppet #2: Hey, watch it. Where ya goin'? To a fire?]
[Bob: Hey, speaking of a fire.]
[Anything Muppet #2: Fire! What fire? Help! Help!]
[Bob: No, there's no fire at all. But do you know who you could be if I gave you this little shiny red hat?]
[Anything Muppet #2: Yeah, Santa Claus.]
[Bob: No, not Santa Claus.]
[Anything Muppet #2: Little Red Riding Hood?]
[Bob: No, no, no, not Red Riding Hood, you could be a fireman.]
[Anything Muppet #2: A fireman? Holy smoke!]
Oh, a fireman is brave it's said
His engine is a shiny red
If there's a fire anywhere about
Well, I'll be sure to put it out
Bob and Anything Muppet #2:
'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
Anything Muppet #1:
And a postman is a person in your neighborhood
All:
Well, they're the people that you meet
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you meet each day
(additional verses from the book "People In My Neighborhood" Volume 7 of "On My Way With Sesame Street")
(pic of Cookie Monster dressed in a chef hat and apron behind the counter of a bakery, muching cookies, natch)
The baker is the one who makes
Your bread and rolls and pies and cakes
If you want something sweet to eat, go see
The baker in the bakery
(pic of Guy Smiley-like teacher in front of class holding a globe)
A teacher works the whole day through
To teach important things to you
He'll teach you things you won't forget
Like numbers and the alphabet
(pic of Herry monster in red-white striped pants just like a barber's pole cutting the hair of Guy Smiley-like muppet)
A barber has a great big chair
You sit in it, he cuts your hair
He'll snip and clip and never rest
Until your haircut looks its best
(pic of Prairie Dawn-like muppet driving a bus)
The bus driver drives fast or slow
To take you where you want to go
When you get in and pay your fare
She will drive you anywhere
(pic of Telly wearing a dentist's uniform)
A dentist cares for all your teeth
The top ones and the ones beneath
So if you have an aching tooth
He'll fix it quick, and that's the truth
(pic of female muppet in a doctor's uniform)
The doctor makes you well real quick
If by chance you're feeling sick
She works and works the whole day long
To help you feel well and strong
(pic of blue adult male muppet in grocer's outfit)
The grocer sells the things you eat
Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat
No matter what you're looking for
You'll find it at the grocery store
(pic of Grover working on a shoe with a hammer)
The shoemaker is always there
To take care of the shoes you wear
With his hammer, nails, and glue
He'll fix your shoes as good as new
(pic of the back of Rodeo Rosie handing over a fringed vest to the drycleaner, a green adult male muppet)
The cleaner is the one who knows
How to clean and press your clothes
He'll take a jacket, suit, or vest
And clean it so you'll look your best
(pic of Oscar The Grouch, naturally, driving a garbage truck)
The trash collector works each day
He'll always take your trash away
He drives the biggest truck you've seen
To keep the city streets all clean0 -

what about your neighborhood?
I live in the Financial District in NYC. So the people in my neighborhood are suits who flood the streets in the daytime and clear out by late afternoon. It is pretty quiet at night (for now) and I absolutely love it! The only downside is most of the shops/restaurants close earlier than in the rest of the city."The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
"What's your name?"
"FUCK YOU! THAT"S MY NAME!"0 -

I miss my city neighborhood. I really genuinely miss the guy who ran the overpriced convenience store at my corner. He was really nice and smart and always had a lot more to say than just "hello" or "that'll be $5 for that gallon of milk".
I don't miss paying $5 for a gallon of milk, though. So I guess there's a trade-off.
My current neighborhood is full of old people, young people, families, my in-laws...and a bunch of people I've never seen before. It's a normal middle class suburban neighborhood.0 -
Man, I wish there was a lesbian coffee shop in my neighborhood, I'd NEVER sleep!!!The best use of Life is Love.
The best expression of Love is Time.
The best time to Love is Now.
I'm never as good as when you're there.........0 -

All i know is the people around me are annoying. I live in a development where the houses are on top of eachother. Mostly everyone is inconsiderate too...slamming car doors in the wee hours, blasting music. I hate living there. :(These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.0

I'm moving to a new neighborhood this weekend! I hope I have good neighbors!0

I live on the edge of an industrial park. The only neighbors I have live below me.
I wish I had a lesbian coffee shop.0 -
I live in the land of Stepford Wives.
They may have their own underground lesbian coffee shop (which would also sell Juicy Couture tracksuits)0 -
my neighbourhood is full of families that are overpaid and drive huuuge BMW SUV's. boring as fuck!0

they're probably not over paid, just in a lot of debt.
that sounds terrible though, as does the juicy cuture track suits.0 -

There are only houses in my subdivision, and I've only met a handful of my neighbors. I'm rarely there during daylight hours anyway.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -
I live in a middle class neighborhood, have only met a handful of neighbors, the people that live beside us though are annoying fucks with know consideration for anyone else.
Most likely moving in the spring to another city, the city we now live in is full of very unpleasant people, with very few PJ fans, lol.I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin

We moved to our neighborhood back in October. It's a fairly normal middle class suburban neighborhood. We haven't really met anyone yet although we have said hello to the people that live directly beside us. I'm sure that in the future we're gonna meet some neighbors when I have to explain why I ran over a kid coming home from work. Some kids that live on the corner ride their bikes and skateboards and like to play chicken with cars turning onto the road. Eventually one of those little bastards is gonna fuck up and not stop in time and get run over. Of course, none of the parents are ever out watching their kids.0

I got one for yall!
I live in a nice upper middleclass neighborhood that is famous for having a murdering dentist living here. It happenend in the late 90's. He claims that his daughter who was only a few months old had a fever and that he and his wife were taking her to the hospital late at night. He says they were driving in the snow and that a deer ran out in front of them, so he swerved the Ford SUV and hit a tree. A few hours later they were found. His wife was driving and was dead. He was in the front pass seat and the baby was in the back. At first no one thought anything of it. It was determined by the autopsy that she died from the force of the air bag. So he received a shit load of life INS. Then he did weird stuff. He removed all her pictures. Never told his daughter about her real mom and had his suprisingly new girl friend move in, who he made 9 phone calls to the day before this all happened. He also forbids the wives family from being in touch with their granddaughter.
Then he decides o get greedy and sue Ford Motor Company b/c of the air bag. Well, they got Dr. Badden ( Famous guy in the news a lot) to look at the first autopsy that was done. Turns out she was strangled! He then dropped the suit agaisnt Ford. Then 20/20got wind of it and did a big story about it. A famous author who is known for writing about OJ in the begining, wrote a book about this called "A death in the night" i think.
Fucker was guilty as hell. I hate his ass. A few people who live right near him kiss his ass. Losers.
There is way more to the story but I do not feel like writing it.
Crazy huh?
Oh, they deternined that he was driving to slow for her to be killed. The mark on the tree was iny too, yada yada yada he did it.Get em a Body Bag Yeeeeeaaaaa!
