'I won the neighbor lottery': Lonely old man makes a treasured friend after making mixtapes for his music-loving neighbor

It's about time we read some good news. Usually, neighborhood stories are all about neighbor drama, HOA's, and the Karen next door ruining a pleasant Sunday afternoon, but this next tale is truly a wholesome one. 

While not every neighborhood is perfect, sometimes a treasured neighbor will pop their head out into the community, reminding us that there is still a shred of good left on this block. For one young woman, that reminder came in the form of an elderly neighborhood recluse who decided to come out of hiding to share a wholesome gift: Music. 

After living next door for some time, this old man came out from his home to share a collection of burned CDs with his neighbor, reaching out and establishing a friendship that would transcend neighborly kindness, evolving into a cherished musical friendship. Scroll for the entire store (and the funky playlists) of one old man passing the torch of musical passion to his younger neighbor through the ancient art of mixtapes.
