I feel safe . The neighbors are friendly and they look out for the community . They allow us to use their internet. They walk their animals and pick up behide them. They cook and invited peoples in the neighborhood to have dinner with them.

I think that most people around my neighborhood are very friendly to one another, and definitely to seniors. They cut each others grass and if someone is unable to get out, someone will offer to run errands for them. Children do play outside, and ride bikes in the street, but all with supervision. There are activities that go on that include the entire neighborhood. I feel safe in my neighborhood and love being here.
