In moving different places, it's become clear that there is a narrow window of opportunity before it becomes quite awkward to make first contact with one's neighbors. I've been thinking about strategies that work...
-delivering homemade cookies
*** extra-effective if done while the power is out ***
-strolling by with a dolly/ moving equipment (obvious conversation-starter)
-wandering outside during high-traffic times: when trash goes out or when normal people get home from work
-sitting in common spaces: stoops, patios, laundry rooms
-mowing the yard with outrageously antiquated, environmentally friendly equipment (another fail-safe conversation-starter)
-borrowing things and/ or asking for help (tools, blenders, an egg, etc.)
Other ideas?
