[quote=Anonymous]I'm the first "walkable" poster. Something that is very important to me as a parent is the proximity of our red line / nwdc address to transit and to "stuff you can walk to that is interesting for a tween and teen." I realize this is a personal value that is not universal. Our tween walks or rides his bike to Wisconsin or Connecticut ave. to get a sandwich, visit starbucks, see a movie at Avalon or Mazza, or buy himself a shirt. If he needs (fill in this blank) for a school project, he goes out to get it himself at CVS, FedExKinkos or the like. He knows how to get himself around on Metro, at least along the red line and also to Gallery Place. I'm not -quite- ready for him to take Metro downtown and hang out, but when I'm satisfied that he's ready to handle downtown on his own, the subway is "right there" and he knows how to navigate it.[/quote]
