    "I lived in the West Washington Park neighborhood in Denver on the 400th block of Washington Street South. Besides an annual block party, we didn’t have any other official community events. HOWEVER, this is still a special neighborhood because of the kind and neighborly people who live there. Everyone goes out of their way to say hello and are always willing to lend a helping hand. I formed some fantastic friendships with my neighbors and there’s nothing better than having your friends live in walking distance!"
