Is your neighborhood walkable?

I just found this really cool website Walk Score. Just enter your address and push the button. It is a "google maps" mashup.... My house got a 57 -- "sort of walkable" (it's a fair rating -- it is more "bikable")

I entered a downtown Main St address and it go a very walkable rating (92). This is not just hocus pocus they show by category what they use to rate your address -- what parks, stores, schools etc are "walkable" from your house.

I new "feature" when you are trying to sell or buy ...

Cool site, Joe. I added my address and got a 95. Not surprising.....kinda makes me want to stay here:-)

p.s.

I like roundabouts also. Used 3 of them while painting murals for 3 months in downtown Stuart, FL. They worked great, in spite of the fact that one has the nickname of "Confusion Corner" :-)
