What does the way you speak say about where you’re from?

There are really words for the grass between sidewalk and road?

I thought that was just where dogs do their business. Who needs a word for this? Who talks about this grass?

Seconded! I had no idea there was a word for that. I didn't know there was a word for the grassy strip in between two highway roads either, but when I was in New Orleans I heard it called the neutral ground a lot.

When our city replaced our roads (dug out completely, new concrete), they replaced the grass in that section because the process completely destroyed it. That's the only time I've ever really discussed that section of the grass...lol. Here, it is technically city property and the trees on that section are city trees, so if those trees fall and hit a car, the city is responsible. It could be useful to know what to call it in that circumstance!
