This so perfectly exemplifies Boston. I have a next-door neighbor who’s never really talked to me. I did talk to him once when he grabbed my dogs as they were trying to escape to thank him. I invited him and his wife over for dinner with my husband and me he declined but yesterday his fence fell down and he made sure to text me so we could move our car completely out of the way and promised to make as little disturbance as possible fixing it Monday.

Not super friendly, but responsible and courteous .
