i sometimes miss the old neighborhood back in Ormond Beach (here in florida)... we lived on a decent-sized cul-de-sac and a cop lived in the house on one of the front corners to the road, and any time the street wanted to do something big, he'd just pull his cruiser into the middle of the intersection to block off access to the street and we'd have big block parties for halloween, labor day, 4th of july, etc. People from all over the neighborhood at large would come in and there'd be a bunch of barbecues going, people playing sports and running around in the street. It was really nice. Of course, I was also 10-14 at the time, so I enjoyed it more as a kid than a "grown up" social event.
