A local peculiarity:

A few streets north of me the sidewalk turns to a narrow inset-brick pathway, and it goes beneath the incredibly low-hanging boughs of this one tree, that dip down to like five-and-a-half feet off of the ground or so.

And, at that point of the sidewalk, you can tell that people swung out and walked on the lawn towards the curb rather than ducking and going underneath those boughs and continuing to walk on the sidewalk, because there’s a pathway worn through the grass.
