In this video, Tom Krieglstein shares the story of a neighborhood tradition on Casewell Drive. Every Friday, any resident can walk to the curb, plant a tiki torch, and light it. A lit torch signals that the homeowner’s yard is open for neighbors to drop by after work for food, drinks, and socializing. The tradition follows two simple rules: anyone can host, multiple hosts are allowed, the gathering starts when the torch is lit and ends when the torch burns out. The practice has become popular and spread to nearby streets, encouraging broader community participation.

And I learned this story about Ricky where what they do at Casewell Drive is every Friday, anyone on that street can walk out onto the curb, take a tiki torch, plant it firmly into the ground, and then light that tiki torch. That sends a signal to everyone else on Casewell Drive that if you in front of your house have a tiki torch that's lit up, your house is open for every anyone to come by after work to enjoy some food, drink, fun friends in their backyard. The rules actually of the tiki torch tradition are pretty simple. First off, anyone can host it. Multiple people can host it. Second, the party starts once the tiki torch is lit and the party ends once the tiki torch is exhausted. That's it. Those are the rules. Super simple. But this tradition on Casewell Drive has expanded other roads nearby to other streets where they want to come and participate as well.
