“In this masterfully written collection, David Milofsky takes us on a tour not only of the commonalities that bind people together in what we call a “neighborhood,” but also of the quirky, searching, and sometimes desperate psyches that define its collective beating heart.  This is a storyteller who understands people and their struggles to find harmony in a discordant world.  These tales are sometimes reassuring, sometimes tragic— but always filled with an extraordinary depth of insight.”
