We just moved to a neighborhood on a hillside here in SW Pennsylvania. Most of the house are from the 1940s or earlier. There are little back yards that have a old metal gate to the alley. There are also gates between the yards that go from backyard to backyard. I told my kids and grand kids those gates are from a different time when neighbors looked out and trusted each other. I remember those times.

Unfortunately those times are gone. My neighborhood only had a few homes on my street. Now it’s... well a large and mixed community. Some areas I don’t feel liked. Lol. But my wife tells me all the time I look like a leader of the Arian brotherhood. It used to be a bad area you would see the cops in all the time. Had a guy living in a house behind me run when they served a warrant on him. He hid under my house, heard a noise and saw him come out. Grabbed my gun and ran outside but he had jumped the fence before I got out there. Had about 10 cops and dogs and helicopter over my house. It’s since cleaned up and a lot of older people. We are fenced in with privacy fence across the front of 2 acres.
