And who are my neighbors?

And who are my neighbors? That is the question for me to ponder again. I know I've written about this before, but I moved here thinking I was going to connect with people in my church already living in this borough, meet my neighbors, and bring community to us all. Well, that still isn't really happening except for one group of people ... my 2010 Census coworkers. I will say though that I am finally getting to know my community better through my work in my actual neighborhood. It's good to meet some kind folks especially on these ever so hot days when they'll give me water, so I don't dehydrate. I've learned that I live in a mostly Italian or Irish Roman Catholic neighborhood where people mostly have cars and work in Manhattan. It used to be German too but is becoming more Jewish and Latino.
