Where Everybody Knows Your Name

I was thinking of that old TV show, Cheers. It used to be one of my favorite shows of all time. In fact, I still watch the reruns.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to go where everyone knew your name? Maybe you have a place like that where you can go and have everyone greet you with a friendly smile and a wave as they call out your name. Imagine having that many friends that you can turn to when your day just didn't go right. Imagine having a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen at any given time. All it would take would be to walk through that door and, suddenly, your troubles just melt away.
It may not be a particular single place but maybe it's a neighborhood, a small town. A place where neighbors help neighbors and where someone can still go next door, open the door, yell Yoo-Hoo, can I borrow a cup of sugar? And there would always be a cup of tea waiting just for you, almost like they were expecting you.
