do it!! it is tine to bring back the face to face introductions!!
when my mum was in hossy giving birth to my brother I was 23months and my nan was looking after me. mum and dad had lived in the house for 2 years, and didn't know a single neighbor. in the two days my nan was home alone with me she had met every single person (who was home during the day) on the street. simply went to their doors, introduced herself and found me many little friends to play with.
my neighbor came over and introduced herself to us when we moved in. she is elderly tho, and unfortunately our other neighbors are the same or not the type you want to be very friendly with....but I have still met them
