"It gives the neighborhood a small town feel" “We’ve lived in this house for 19 years. We have great neighbors. Because we live right next to Riley, we get front row seats to the Riley High School Homecoming Parade every year too. It’s really cool because it goes right in front of the house and none of the other high schools do it. It gives the neighborhood a small town feel. We also used to do this neighborhood Christmas Candle Walk. They don’t do it so much anymore, but people would put candles in their windows or on their porches, there would be carolers, and we would just walk around the neighborhood. It was really nice, we always loved doing that, but again people don’t do it anymore. Oh! Here’s something funny about this area. If you try to do any yard work you'll be constantly hitting bricks! This area used to be where Studebaker would dump all of their construction waste. All of the bricks that line our front yard we found when we were trying to plant trees in the back.”
