Based on the excerpt from "A Girl Named Zippy" by Haven Kimmel, the most accurate conclusion about her neighborhood is that people seemed to know each other by name. This is evidenced by the fact that specific individuals, like the Kizers and Ruth Kennedy, are calling out to her, indicating familiarity among the residents.
As I climbed on and started speeding down the street, I could feel my sister’s newfound respect fading like an old star, but I couldn’t stop. I turned the corner of Charles and Jefferson as if nothing could touch me – I rode faster and faster. As I rode past the Kizers’ house, . . . one of them shouted, “Nice wig!” And I yelled back, my face bent close to the handlebars, “It’s my real hair!” And then another block up, Ruth Kennedy shouted did I know I was wearing my slippers, and I yelled, “They’re my actual feet!”
