Absolutely. In my experience, having good neighbors makes all the difference in the world, regardless of what time of the year or where one lives @eskielover.
I've never lived in a rural area, but I used to live in a ghetto in the middle of a city that would scare most people just driving through. And yeah, it was scary and I hope I never have to live in a situation like that again. Frequent shootings, major drug trafficking, so many very sad events; a ghetto. That said, folks took care of folks. Nobody ever went hungry, no one ever spent a holiday alone. Once, on my birthday, I didn't have a running car. I so wanted to go to dinner. A neighbor asked what I was doing for my birthday, I mentioned that I wanted to go to dinner, but, oh, well. He went into his house, came back with his car keys, and handed them to me. I was all, Oh, my gosh, no! It's okay! He insisted. So I went to dinner that night.
