4 Ways to Wow Your Neighbors

A recent survey reported that most Americans are more likely to identify their neighbors’ cars and pets than to know their first names. Try using these ideas to break the ice:

Organize a potluck party for your whole block.

Host a garage sale, garden round robin or a simple plant swap.

Go for walks—with the intent of chatting up someone new.

Deliver homemade bread, jam or other baked goods. Or share extras from your garden harvest.
