Hey, henry. I also live on a street with a cul-de-sac, and I have some absolutely crazy neighbors. However, I've never seen The Burbs, so I wouldn't know if they are anything like the people in the film.
No, I live out in the sticks. My "neighbors" don't 'speriment with 'lectricity, but they got somethin' cookin' over thar, quite acrid and stinky. They also get quite frequent social calls from the "POlice".
