Re: at vs. in

Yes, Jose. Your picture is what I was referring to. Obviously this will vary from city to city, town to town, and country to country.

Yes, and the legal interpretation of whether it must be consider as a part of the street or not.

Have a look at my sidewalks (if you want to).

(May I see yours?)
 
Re: at vs. in

Are all of your blocks like that?

You already posted a picture of what mine look like.

Thanks. There is definitely no grass.

When I went outside yesterday early in the morning in order to sweep our sidewalk, I noticed two letters lying in the street.

Carefully looking for any approaching cars in this residential area, I dashed into the street to retrieve the letters.

They were addressed to some people who live ten houses away.

Perhaps the letters had fallen out of the letter carrier's truck.

I then delivered them to their house.

There were no other pedestrians on the street, i.e., the sidewalk.

"In the streets" doesn't mean "on the sidewalk/pavement".
