Fishbowl... Inspiring story.
Great neighborhood, Chatty! Sweet story of your dear mom!

My mom's description of a town just a half hour away from where I currently live, is very similar to your mom's neighborhood: Late 50's- early 60's, there were only or mostly christians living there. No crimes, people lived without the constant reminder of violence, etc. Windows and doors unlocked day and night... She visited her brother who was studying at AUC. That's where she met dad!

Although today, it is still a very good place to live, nobody leaves doors unlocked anymore!
