Florida Couple Offers Free Beer as a Way to Meet the Neighbors
Free beer is definitely a good ice-breaker!
Amanda and Thomas Evans recently moved from Fort Meyers to nearby Cape Coral during the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Florida Couple was unsure when they would get to meet their new neighbors. “Typically, you would bring people cookies or pie or invite them over for dinner, but we weren’t sure about how people were feeling,” Amanda told ABC7.
So, they decided to create a flyer:
“Hi, we’re new to the neighborhood and would like to meet our lovely neighbors. We will be in our driveway with drinks, ready to meet any neighbors who would like to stop by. We can’t wait to meet you.”
Thomas was unsure how many neighbors would stop by but once the “Free Beer” sign went up, the neighbors started making their way over.
“It’s always funny to see a sign on the table that says free beer, just to get people to stop and turn their head and drive by and say what did that sign just say. We had a few people do a double take, free beer is a pretty easy way to get people to show up,” Thomas said.
