I think Stories From Love Your Neighbors has potential from what I've read of what's still available to peruse. What I did not get in the "Love Your Neighbors"  piece is what direction these stories would take. I got perhaps a character that was getting settled and learning to deal with odd and unusual new neighbors. I did not see much conflict to overcome, just sweet, quirky people and their odd stories like the man who had the excuse for having one eyebrow and how the main charcter uncomfortably dealt with that. Oh, and a sleepwalker.

Whatever direction you go, I think keeping an eye to what makes getting to know neighbors difficult and hard to overcome is key. I know its not the same to look over those hedges nowadays. Feels so sequestered in our world. Perhaps, the conflict is actually opening up to people without seeming nosey? Guess that's for the author to decide.

Character development seems key in these stories as is setting. It has to be some kind of unique place that brings out unusual people. My first go to is Gilmore Girls or Pleasantville. Just off the top of my head. I know this is a single woman, so there is the potential to met men in this neighborhood and she's not off to a very good start.
