By: Seairra Sheppard There was only one strip of sidewalk in the town I grew up in—and besides that single strip near the busy road leading to the local restaurant and post office, we didn't really need sidewalks. Granted, it was a small town, so cars hardly drove by, but when they did, I don’t remember them ever going over 15 mph. It wasn’t a danger to mill about and play in the street. The mostly sidewalk-less town worked out for us. We didn’t seem to need extra slabs of cement, and I never heard anyone complain about their absence (even though we kids were known to cut through neighbors' yards when we were in a rush).
