How close does someone have to be to be considered a neighbor? Within a 2 block area? 2 miles? My neighborhood goes about 2 1/2 miles in one direction.....

But....guy that was in Uncle Tupelo, Wilco and the Gourds lives shouting distance from me. Saw him yesterday and he was replacing his toilet wax ring.

The Asian Ebola chick lived about 1 mile from me...

Some well known local politicians live close to me.

Jerry Jones is about 2 1/2 miles from me....but not in my hood.

Tim Delaughter from Polyphonic Spree is about a mile from me.

Erykah Badu is about 3 miles from me.

Grew up down the street from David Duke... Also Juvenile had a house about a mile away. I'd say more infamous than famous but it's all I got.

Not neighbors, but Bruce Springstein, and the guy who invented the scruchie live less than a mile from me.

There is a black guy who has a nice house and cars who lives around the way so I'm assuming he is a former pro athlete or maybe a rapper.
