Over 20 years here and finally the "mayor" of our block acknoweledged me with a slight not of his head. I feel like I belong here but have always made a point to defer to the old timers on community issues. Well, I don't always defer to the big enchilada, Buddy Scotto, but at one time I did until I realized that the majority of old timers were scoffing at him.There are still some businesses I don"t go into because I feel like an interloper.How to fit here is to respect your neighbors who have been here for a long time. There will be many rewards like Halloween candy saved for your kids to name one.
