[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our walk score is 95.  We joke that we'd actually have to live inside the Metro station to get it any higher.

It is not important to a lot of people.

It is very important to some people.

I WAH so I could live in the middle of nowhere, but I choose high walk score area because today---I left my house to go to the gym 2 blocks away.  After I finished my workout I remembered there were two kid bday parties this weekend--so one block from the gym I walked into the toy store bought two gifts had them wrapped up.  From there- I stopped at the Stationary store for a card for my sister, Starbucks and whole foods for milk. I walked home showered and walked 2 blocks to get a spray-on tan for the weekend.  I also grabbed a pair of earrings at one of the retail stores for an outfit I plan to wear tomorrow night.  At 3:30 I walked to pick up my kids from school and we headed to the splash park and then Pinkberry.

I love NEVER getting in a car.  Yes- I could have driven to a big strip and dealt with the crowded lots and the busy memorial day crowds.  Instead- it was good exercise and convenience even if it is mo-fuckin' hot out there!

I do love having a spray tan, nail salon and gym within blocks of my house.  [b]GTL!!!!![/b]

Seriously though I can do all errands and walk to schools and parks in a very short distance.  As others have mentioned--downside is more density, more people, etc. but that is city-living.  I don't mind that aspect.  I actually crave it.  I lose my mind with quiet and no action.[/quote]
