Yeah...I live in a high-density suburban housing tract of LA County. Sometimes, I literally think I can reach out my window to the neighbor to grab a cup of sugar.
But our block really gets into it. People drive up and down the block and get out to walk it. Funny thing, though, our block is a distant second to another one up the street. They went all out a couple of year's ago and got a church choir to come out and sing. I think they jumped the shark with that, though. They still pull twice the number of people that we do, but it comes at a cost. With so much traffic on their block, the residents are trapped inside. And the pedestrian visitors leave trash all over the place. I heard talk that a few of the residents there are rebelling over it and might take a pass this year. We'll see.
But I'll see if I can take a couple of pics to post this year (as far as I know, we're still down to do our thing).
