The Tampa subreddit recently came through with a brilliant thread titled "Pretend every neighborhood in Tampa is a person at a huge house party. What is each 'person' doing?"
The thread was started by user Otherwise-Paint-9874, but was originally launched by the New Orleans' subreddit, and the idea eventually found its way to other major cities around the country.
While not all of these area's are exactly "neighborhoods," per-se, here are a few of our favorite answers.
