I never got the hype around our neighborhood potluck until last month
I always figured our block's potluck was mostly for boring chats and okay food. But last month, I went because my neighbor kept asking, and it was actually fun. We had a guy who makes really good smoked ribs, and everyone was sharing stories about the area. I mean, idk, maybe it's me, but I connected with people I've barely chatted with since I moved in. It made me see how isolated I'd become, just going to work and back. Now I look forward to these gatherings. The sense of community is real, and it's helped me feel more settled here. Has anyone else had a simple event change their outlook?
