extra credit:  Be the first to tell me what a "devil's strip" is -- after reading this:

The grassy area between the street and the sidewalk. This term is unique to the Akron, Ohio area.
The city can plant trees, or come and dig up the devil's strip without the permission of the resident that pays tax on this land. The "devil" in this case is a vague reference to the Tax collector/government in general.

It is also called these names: 
verge, sidewalk buffer, verge, nature strip, tree belt, utility strip, planting strip, devil's strip, city grass, parkway, terrace --  depending on where you live
