We have a group of friends who moved in about the same time as us. They are all in St. Charles and it was just being built 3 years ago. They are all within a 2 block radius of each other and they all know what is going on with everyone else in the area. If one person tells someone something, it is known to the entire "loop" within a day. For example, one of my St. Charles friends told his neighbor that his PSA number was 5.5. Within a day, he got phone calls from several neighbors telling him what a needle biopsy felt like. Very much like an extremely small town in how word spreads so fast among neighbors. Yes, it is friendly, but personally, I enjoy a little more privacy than that.

"Point" taken. Ouch!
