re: Introducing yourself to your new neighbors. Is this a thing now?

Yes. But this is a generational expectation. When people move into our area, I usually stop over and at least introduce myself. If they are from out of town, I will offer to help them learn the area. Helped the latest one unload his truck with my equipment - ramp, cart and refrigerator dolly. Been good friends ever since. Just an investment in a good relationship with a new neighbor. If we are new to an area, we hope that people say hello and usually someone will.

I think a polite introduction is important. You went way out of your way there and had a great outcome but I’m always wary of creating some annoying even stressful relationship so I usually take it gradually in these situations.

We live in a rural area, every one owns at least 5 acres. I pretty much stay to myself other than the friendly wave when I'm cutting grass. On the other hand, my wife knows all the neighbors . I accuse her of being the Mrs Kravitz of the neighborhood
