time they've ever left their own county let alone their
- 00:22
own state And yet here they were in michigan and
- 00:26
there was some sort of weird cold white substance falling
- 00:29
from the sky What is that Well from the moment
- 00:32
they moved in the finnegans had trouble communicating with their
- 00:34
neighbors as they walked down the sidewalk They'd see people
- 00:37
in their homes glaring at them through windows than dropping
- 00:40
the curtain Well if they tried knocking on a door
- 00:42
it would be opened on ly momentarily before being suddenly
- 00:46
slammed in their faces What was up with the people
- 00:49
in this town They're an ax murderer on the loose
- 00:52
or something over the finnegans We're not about to stop
- 00:55
being neighborly even if they were being made to feel

- 01:04
door she'd slided inside quickly before that door slams shut
- 01:08
if she knocked on the door of someone who refused
- 01:10
even answer it well she'd leave the pie on their
- 01:12
front porch with a little love note The finnigan still

weren't getting a warm reception but there were a lot
- 01:17
of empty pipe tens showing off in the neighborhood garbage
- 01:19
gains Maxwell finnigan decided to take a stab at cutting
- 01:23
attention himself He put together a little garage sale and
- 01:26
posted coupons on all his neighbour's door's entitling them toe
- 01:29
half off the mark price of any item as if
- 01:32
about fifty for an oak desk wasn't already a steal
- 01:35
The drive's still resembled something of a ghost town but
- 01:37
well there were a few takers despite the neighbors reluctance
- 01:40
to accept them the finnegans never wavered They'd rent inflatable
- 01:44
bouncy house and post signs saying that all the neighborhood
- 01:46
kids were welcome or leave personalized christmas cards and everyone's
- 01:50
mailboxes or really anything to show that they were not
- 01:52
going to give up until people caved and let them
- 01:55
into their lives And believe it or not while eventually
- 01:58
the finnegans war everyone down okay so the residents of
- 02:01
bony acres were not the warmest most gracious people on
- 02:04
earth But because of their persistence and perseverance the finnegans
- 02:07
convinced the entire subdivision of loners that the finnegans were
- 02:11
worth getting to know And now whenever the family has
- 02:13
a garage sale or whenever they rent a bouncy houses
- 02:16
there are more doors open and closed Well the finnegans
- 02:18
