ABSTRACT

Remember when you knew most of your neighbors and their children? Wasn’t it a comfort to know if your child was playing a couple of blocks away and had a bump, bruise, or skinned elbow that one of your friends would take care of the immediate problem and let you know, because you’d show the same concern? This is how small neighborhoods used to be. This is how Wimbledon Country is! [Wimbledon Country, 1988:3]
