good walking resource
i just finished reading about this really interesting site called Walk Score. not too into the name, but this site is a pretty good idea.
simply plug in the address of your choice and the site loads up all of the walkable destinations (from eating to shopping to services) from a google map.
this is a great idea for trips or exploring your own neighborhood. the site also scores how walkable the area is (i guess by how many services are within the given area).
I love walking places. Seriously, it is when I got a desk job that I started to gain weight :(. I wish that Southern California was more “walking friendly.” I hate how the stop lights don’t allocate enough time for the pedestrians to cross a large street in time. I also wish that there were more stores within walking distance in the newer developments. It sucks to make the hike and then be limited to the same old strip mall or chain stores. Girl, when will So. Cal. catch on?
