Do people still have block parties? I remember going to a few of those when I was a kid.
I went to one a couple of years ago, but I don't think they're very common, at least not in my area. It's too bad, because I actually had a lot of fun.Originally Posted by Essayons89

Yep, that's what I mean. The street I grew up on didn't have them but they were fairly common on the dead end streets in our neighborhood. My friends lived on the street below mine and they would have a big party once a year. People would bring dishes and drinks, snacks, and the grills were fired up. Good fun.Originally Posted by ut0pia

Pretty much the party takes place at the entire street instead of one house? Is that what you mean??
You know what the funny thing is? There's no reason for this to be a "thing of the past". This street would probably do it if someone organized it.Originally Posted by Essayons89
