Neighborhoods that care

5:16 PM Mon, Mar 03, 2008 |


Our lives have changed so much these days, we're in a world where many of us mean well but just get caught up in our own lives. So many times when tragedy happens and we go to a neighborhood to get information so many people say, oh I've seen that person but never spoken to them other then to say hi.

Well today I'm covering the murder of a woman over the weekend in Virginia Beach, I was so pleased and surprised to walk up to door after door where people not only knew their neighbor but knew her name, her significant other, and her family.

This is not a quiet suburban, but not far from Town Center, and a neighborhood with many small townhomes, usually where you find many single people. Still, they knew, loved, and cared for one another, it was a refreshing find I wanted to share with you.
