The neighbor has left the neighborhood.

It is sad that neighborhoods are not as close-knit as they used to be. Growing up, my sister and I knew everyone on our small block. I remember walking to our grandparents house with her and visiting their next door neighbors, Kitty Crom and Aunt Lottie (not our aunt). Now, we really only know the neighbors here that have kids the same age as our kids. I don't feel comfortable with them roaming the 'hood the way my sister and I roamed ours.
