Have any of you ever noticed that people in Beacon Hill walk in the street all the time? Everyone does it - older people, students, mothers with strollers - just about everybody. To a certain extent I understand why. Beacon Hill sidewalks are narrow. They are frequently lined with trash or other debris. That said, they can be navigated. Maybe you can't walk and talk to your three BFFs while doing it but it can be done. I think in Beacon Hill it's time we faced the reality that sidewalks are for walking and streets are for driving cars. It's that way for a reason - because it's safer. So fellow neighbors and visitors please get out of the streets and please, please, please if I'm driving in a car don't give me a pissed off look when I come by and you need to get on the sidewalk. After all, that's exactly why the sidewalk is there.
