As long as I can remember, 40 has been a pedestrian-friendly side of town. Only one of two in the whole county. From childhood, it was common to see both children and adults alike walk through my complex in many others as shortcuts while en route. It's the 40 way. Natives understand the beauty and bonds that come from a community where foot traffic flows freely, where neighbors wave to each other on their daily strolls, and where the streets feel alive with the rhythm of footsteps.
