I wonder what happened in Grandma's day when baby carriages were the size of Mini Coopers. Putting two of them side-by-side on a sidewalk sure would have caused a traffic jam. What's the big difference today? I'm sure that in the 1946-66 or so baby boom there was carriage gridlock everywhere ....

Ok, I have an idea. Let's play color war. The strollers & kids on one side, versus the dogs and cats on the other side. I hope the dogs win!
