Where I live has numerous historical landmarks. It's great to see people out and about at parks. My oldest showed me a screenshot of a historical city where he was yesterday for camp. The community is lined with stops. And it's a good place for a family day, anyways.
A pokestop is google earth placement of landmarks. And you spin the disc. Collect supplies. Need supplies to catch pokemon.

After just spending an hour walking around catching pokemon, I agree that to be honest there isn't much issue being aware of surroundings... just need to check screen every so often & it vibrates when a pokemon appears anyway.
Although, I can appreciate for those who can use AR, that looking at pokemon that way might be distracting in the short term. Handy trick is you can tap on a pokemon & then it won't disappear even if you keep walking until you catch it. At least with AR turned off.
I was surprised at how much walking is needed to find pokemon. My first jaunt took me 2 miles.
I think I spotted maybe 3 people playing... although as of yet, not accosted anyone to ask!
It's great the sort of little landmarks it can lead you to... spotted a few things I've never seen living here my whole life! Also found an honorary Spanish consulate!
