This is the first in what I hope to be a short series of musings about Things I Love About Ames (TILAA). I reserve the right to extend my love to all of Iowa if the topic warrants it!
Pretty much all of Ames is connected by sidewalks. It is lovely. People use them. We use them. Walking is such a nice way to start and end the day. We regularly go on walks as a family now.
One thing that I've noticed about having lots of sidewalks, it makes drivers drive differently. Taking a left turn? You look for cars but also pedestrians. Theres a soft subtle shift in the brain when this happens, you no longer feel isolated in an impenetrable SUV-bubble.
Sidewalks. Love 'em.
