In Nashville, when walking, the thing that makes it interesting and fun is the people. The people you pass, those working in their yards and the people sitting on their front porches. Sadly, the latter is surprising rare.
Most walks are a bit like walking through the desert - not a soul in site.
The next time you reach for the remote, consider sitting out on your front porch instead. The people walking by are their own sort of interesting entertainment. Equally, the people on porches are a source of excitement and fascination for the walkers.
