I have found that some town builders use tiles for sidewalks, which seems
strange to me.  Yes, it does match the "pavement" of the road plates, but
its tough to keep a minifig upright on tile.

Ahh, yes - they do look good. But I think one of your pics shows the point
about keeping minifigs upright on tiles..

I LOVE the tiles for sidewalks.  I think it looks classy and realistic.  And
I agree it is tough to keep minifigs up.  But one solution that I thought of
is to use 1x2 plates with the single stud on top that way you can place one
foot on the stud and it looks as though he or she is walking.  As long as
you don't plan on moving the minifigs around a lot, I think it's a pretty
good solution.  Of course the 1x2's with single studes might be tough to get
out if need be!  :-)
