      The first time i went to Texas to visit SO’s family, I got bored once at a gathering so i decided to go for a walk. I walked one block and the side walk ended. Ok no problem so i turned and walked another block and the side wall ended again. I realized after i walked in a circle that the side walk only existed for the block i was in. There was no sidewalk in any of the adjacent blocks. I was flabbergasted.

      I live in a relatively centrist-ish large suburb in North Alabama, about 65k people. There aren’t any stretches of sidewalk going for than a couple hundred feet, maximum. Outside of those scarce stretches, you get to walk on the wet grass with the dead armadilloes, a few feet away from certain death at the hands of Billy Bob’s Ford F150.
