In this short spoken segment, Tom Krieglstein recounts a neighborhood custom that began on Casewell Drive. Every Friday, residents place a lit tiki torch on the curb in front of their house to signal that their backyard is open for neighbors to drop by after work for food, drinks, and socializing. The simple visual cue spread to adjacent streets as more people wanted to join the gatherings. The popularity of these informal parties contributed to a noticeable rise in property values on Casewell Drive, illustrating how a modest ritual can strengthen community bonds and have economic benefits.

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 anyone to come by after work to enjoy some food, drink, fun friends in their backyard. 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. Property value on Casewell Drive shot through the roof. The parties were so popular, the homeowners and nearby wanted to participate.
