If you have a dog, that's always an easy way to get to know people in dog parks or just walking around the neighbourhood. Enjoy "Florida's friendliest hometown"!
Yup. My wife wants to schedule an open house/cocktail party now that we're coming down more often. It's a great way to meet the neighbors. We'll probably do it later this winter...

Sadly, we missed the last "block party" on out street by a week this past summer...

We -were- able to see/hear some of it thru our video doorbell... Looked like fun!
