Things I didn't know about Grand Forks #15

Grand Forks is not a very pedestrian-friendly town. I know that I've been spoiled living in Oregon where there are walking/running/biking paths everywhere, but where we now live, there are barely sidewalks and at most intersections there are not even crosswalks. 

Not that this matters, since during our late afternoon Sunday stroll, we saw only one other pedestrian (who was running) and a couple creepy guys on bikes. People don't walk here. In fact, they drive so fast, I'm pretty certain I'll be t-boned at every intersection. Also, they don't stop at stop signs. 

If I make it out of here without getting into an accident, I will be surprised.
