Abstract
In Chapter. 6, I discuss another type of publicly accessible space, sidewalks and the common practice of public walking in urban neighborhoods. I foreground two types of sidewalk users. A discussion of dog-walking pivots on the profound sense of neighborhood legitimacy that “walking the dog” engenders for many newcomers. The second group of pedestrians I consider are those who walk to and from Highland’s trendy and ethnic restaurants. My discussion of the restaurant scene casts light on two elements of low-level governance: on-street parking policy and liquor license tribunals.
