This whole post is making me think of the South Park episode from this past season in which Morgan Freeman reads aloud a literary work by Butters. I can hear it now.

ALBANY — Poet Shel Silverstein wrote that where the sidewalk ends, the grass grows soft and white, the sun burns crimson bright and the moon bird rests from his flight, cooling in the peppermint wind.

In Albany, the sidewalk ends on South Swan Street, where Robinson Square and the Plaza meet, and if you’re walking there, upright, on two feet, you see no sign saying nay. Because there is no sign, there is no line, and people tread there every day.
