It is a pleasant throwback, my neighborhood is full of life. Family units walking, riding and playing outside like I've never experienced. I have 3 kids; 14, 10 and 8 and have to go outside with them. We blocked our driveway (so have some other families) to help contain basketballs during our "recess" games. Also started doing other activities and challenges. So far I actually lost a pound and still suck at basketball
