I grew up in a house with a front porch where we'd spend a lot of time during the summer watching the neighborhood. It really was a great way to see and know your neighbors. Folks watched out for each other too. That is one of the things from the "good old days" that I truly miss. Janice Ken,

It's true, it would be wonderful to live in a place like that - I hardly know my neighbours either. I had never heard of Blackjack, but I love the name.

It is amazing how some of our family members lived - and what culture shock we would have if we were able to step back into time and visit them. Thanks for sharing about Blackjack, Texas.
