Everyone Forever Now - "Stoop Sitting" from Everynone on Vimeo.

Sitting on the porch is a lost art. I seldom see my neighbors through the course of the day. We are too busy running off to work or off to spend money on things we don't need.

When I was a child, centralized air conditioning was rare. The summer heat would often drive people on to their porches in the evening which created many impromptu social interactions.

I miss that stronger sense of community sitting on the porch provided.
