[Nebulous]

Tell us about your neighborhood, what is unique about it, and what you might name it if you had a chance to give it a new name.

What is good about your neighborhood?
What would you change if you could? Why?

Name: Peaceful Haven

What is good about your neighborhood?
The best part of my neighborhood is there isn't any. As you probably know by now, I live on 23 acres of land that is all wooded (tons of trees). My lot is private and you cannot even see my home from the road. My only 'neighbors' are the different forms of wildlife that live on my property.

What would you change if you could?
I wouldn't change a thing.

 

[Evil Eye]

It's all right, I guess.
Fairly conveniently located with regards to primary schools, shops, public transportation and such. It's not butt ugly either, so there's that
What I'd seek to improve is less the neighbourhood and more the houses. Give 'em thicker walls that actually block sound...

Are all the houses attached?

Name: Jet Wing Block

My neighborhood has mostly cars passing by, turning onto a lakeside street or coming off of it onto the road leading to the mall. It's pretty good. I live in a condo, so very little to no outdoor work for me. Where I live, there are fifteen different neighbors living in one complex of condos.

If I were to change one thing, it would be making the beach a block from my condo bigger, to share with the other condo complex.

 

[Evil Eye]

Are all the houses attached?

Yup. If they were all separate we'd have to kick half the people out of the country, probably

According to a survey I took the other day, I live in:

"Illinois, not Chicago metro area"

I guess that's not so bad if your the house on the corner. Do you live in a corner house or do you have neighbors on both sides of you?

 

[Evil Eye]

Both sides, but they're nice folks so it's generally all right. Sound carries rather well at night though: it's not the neighbours we can hear sometimes.

How long have you lived there? Have you ever had neighbors with infants crying all night?

 

[Evil Eye]

Most of my life and yes. That was horrible, luckily they're a bit older now

My neighborhood is pretty busy. Near two major boulevard's, a hospital and the street itself is half duplex's (where I am), half houses with some apartment complexes, an elementary school, a park and some doctors offices on the other end of the street. So a lot of people live on this street and need to use it for other reasons.

If I had to give it a new name, I would call it "Go Away" because I am sick of all the damn people everywhere. Maybe I should "Go Away" and move somewhere a little more quiet one of these days.

So do you hear a lot of cars going back and forth at night when you're trying to sleep?

Yes and never ending ambulance sirens.

At least you're close to medical help if you ever needed it!

 

[Nebulous]

Yeah, just gotta drive down my street, turn and drive a tiny bit further.

 

[Jazzy]

Or call for an

 

[Nebulous]

Well I wish I was further away. How ironic, I hear a siren as I am typing this. Some days I really pay attention to them and some days I tune them out and not even hear them.

My neighbourhood is full of young families, with a kindergarten on the end.
Very quiet and peaceful.

I'd stick to it's current name, though.

What about those drunk neighbors behind you?
