Safety and respect
A grown-up comes along. The square is ringed by U.S. 64 (College St.) and U.S. 431 (Main Ave.): use crosswalks and watch for traffic. Private homes: stay on the public sidewalk and out of yards. At cemeteries: stay on paths and drives, don't touch or lean on stones, keep voices low, visit in daylight and follow posted rules.
