Walkability

[bunnyjadwiga]

Wow. Amaebi linked to the Walkability Score calculator, "that scores the ease with which one could live as a pedestrian at a given address"-- http://www.walkscore.com/
Much becomes opaque when I realize that my current residence has the lowest walkability score of anyplace I've ever lived in the Lehigh Valley- 42. Curiously, the place I lived in Emmaus, which was eminently walkable, has low score too, but most of the other place I've lived in were in the 70s and 80s.

I scored a zero. It would probably have been very slightly higher if Google realized that the park VISITOR's center is a couple miles away, but the park itself borders our property (the other side of the dirt road). Still, no, nothing other than the park within reasonable walking distance. But having an acre and a half pond in your front yard and 48 acres to roam this close to the city is worth it ;-)
