My husband said "I think something is wrong with our car. All these people are waving us down". lol... duhhh We soon found out they were just being who they are "friendly and social".
All I have to say is... keep on waving... show renters who may soon could possibly be soon to be residents all TV has to offer. They will soon understand, as we soon did, that TV is the greatest place to live where your neighbors will become some of your most trusted and wonderful friends you could ever imagine.

Hi Brendanyc: I was reared in and around syracuse. I moved to various states with my company and at one point they asked me to do go back to syracuse. I conducted a lot of business in New York City area.
Your above-stated comments illustrate the function of "frames of reference" as a basis for one's viewpoint. While waiting for my ride at Kennedy airport I asked a man for the time. He never looked at me picked up three pieces of luggage and moved some 25 feet away from me. I decided to test my theory and upon returning to syracuse and waiting for my wife I noticed that the people in syracuse would talk your ear off.
My point is that after living in New York city I can see why you would be overwhelmed here. I lived In Iowa where everyone waved and Minneapolis again friendly even Memphis people were friendlier
