www.familyhandyman.com/article/front-porch-with-a-separate-door"In Charleston, South Carolina, front porch "hospitality doors" helped neighbors know when it was OK to stop by. For those of us living in the suburbs or small towns, the sentiment of “knowing your neighbor” means a lot. Living in a tight-knit neighborhood often creates close family friends, the ones you join for outdoor games and invite to backyard barbecues. In the neighborhood where I grew up, doors were rarely shut or locked during the day. Even if they were, neighbor kids were welcome to ring the doorbell and see who was home. Times have changed, though. In a lot of neighborhoods, front doors stay locked. But in the South, you’ll likely still see some open front doors, especially if they lead to the porch...." My notes: I've always lived in the North so I'm curious if people have lived in houses with this type of door or have seen them down South.

Hmm, I grew up in the South and I do remember seeing some houses like that. Our house wasn't one of them, though. Depended on the area and the neighborhood, too.

To me, if someone is on the porch, they want company.
