That sounds like a wonderful neighborhood! May I ask which state you live in? In our apartment building, we have mainly Hispanics, some Koreans, a couple from India, and a few African-Americans and Caucasians. We used to have some people from Bangladesh. It's a large building (75 apartments).... I say hello to everyone I see, but don't get to know everyone since people tend to come and go in apts in Los Angeles. I am friends with the couple from India.
But people do usually help me load my groceries onto the elevator! Some even take them to my door for me! For a big city, that's really nice.
I live in a small town between Orlando and Sanford Florida, it's such a quaint little town that believe it or not we have chickens in the downtown area, we even have a store that sells t-shirts that say I break for chickens, they are protected by the city. There is also a little restaurant where people just go to have coffee read their newspaper, and have breakfast or lunch. It's a Christian restaurant so it's closed on Sundays.
My husband and I fell in love with this town. We even had a Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the town square, my daughter played the flute in the parade, and we also had a homecoming parade for the High School. There are a lot of family oriented events sponsored by the city and other organizations.
