How large or inaccessible is the neighbor’s garden to not notice a body for two years?

Poor woman

What’s crazy to me is that you can see her husband in the backyard from the Google Street car.

Where, exactly? I can't see anything.

My late best friend's address still displays him in a few spots around the house. Someone sent me pins the day after he died and it gave me complicated feelings.

Why would you be talking in miles when you’re obviously not American?

Who gives a fuck.

That isn't Brussels. Andenne, the actual location, is more than 45 miles from Brussels.

Nothing unusual about a person living near a large city being identified by that city by outsiders. Happens to residents near New York City a lot.

47 miles from Brussels is a comparatively huge distance both geographically and culturally.

I stand corrected.

Having lived a mere 15 miles north of Manhattan, I've never heard anyone refer to me and my family as residents of New York City.

The news reporters from LA or Chicago would definitely refer to you as a New Yorker.

[u/mel2000 → u/[deleted]]

If they referred to me as a resident of New York City, however, yeah, I'd like a word.

Happens often enough if you live outside NYC and the person lives in a little-known NYC suburb. Happens with many large cities referenced from outside that area. DeKalb is 65 miles west of Chicago and would definitely be referred to as "city near Chicago" if reported from outside the Chicago area, depending on how important the exact location is.

The 1977 Odyssey disco song "(He's a) Native New Yorker" wasn't referring to a resident of Albany or Buffalo.

Thank you, that is correct.

What I never understood is, how did her husband not know she went to the neighbors? She must of told him she was going there
