Walk Score: 35 out of 100

Josh sent me the link to http://www.walkscore.com/. I was very excited because Mike and I walk all of the time in our neighborhood. The library and our favorite pizza place are .75 miles away. Our favorite Thai place and our local WaWa convenience store are 1.5 miles away. Our favorite Chinese/Japanese place is 1 mile away. There are tons of parks all over the place. The local SEPTA stop is steps from our front door. I knew that we wouldn't score as well as our friends in New York City or San Fransisco, but I figured that we would get better than a 35 percent. According to their chart, http://www.walkscore.com/how-it-works.shtml, they rated our house as: 25 - 50 = Not Walkable: Only a few destinations are within easy walking range. For most errands, driving is a must. It should have at least been "Some Walkable Locations" or "Very Walkable". Maybe they just can't bring it with what they consider within a "comfortable" distance. ;)
