Karla–

That is definitely part of the problem! We have so many nice streets without sidewalks…it makes me mad. AND, people are definitely not pedestrian-friendly here– I’ve had cars almost run me off the road before!

I should look up some of that info on making communities more pedestrian-friendly…that’s very interesting.

I walk to campus because I live literally 2 blocks away and there’s no excuse.

I’m not sure how it is where you live, but a lot of cities in PA and other states don’t have sidewalks, which I think is so strange since I grew in California where there are always sidewalks. There’s a ton of literature on how to make communitites more pedestrian-friendly, walkable and liveable (my urban planning nerdiness comes out!).

So maybe you can blame some your feelings of isolation on streetscape and urban design! But walking your ADORABLE dogs sounds like a great solution!

I loved our walks that we had when you visited – to Centenary and Columbia Cafe and Norton’s. Dad and I walked back to Norton’s yesterday and walked all around the outside – it was beautiful! Let’s do more of that when you come in December (and by then, all the Christmas decorations will be up!) We’re decorating today – after I teach R.E. I can’t wait to get that tree inside!
