      When my husband and I were broke undergrads, we did a lot of walking around our mid-sized college town. We made our way to some pretty non-pedestrian-friendly places in our wanderings.

      Police officers stopped to ask if we were having car trouble or needed a ride on a weekly basis. (Obvs, we’re white, which is why we were met with the benefit of the doubt from the local officers instead of suspicion.)
