It could have been a "ghost town".  Possibly the only other people I saw the whole time were in cars driving on the larger streets.  The walk took at least an hour.  This is a "family" neighborhood!  The neighborhood where I grew up (also a suburban neighborhood) was never quiet like this, that's for sure!
