Walk Score
Richmond Business & Commercial News reminded us about Walk Score, a site that “calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc.”, part of an effort to recognize the benefits to our health, the environment, and our communities of living in walkable neighborhoods. This site puts a number on how easy it is to go day-to-day without relying in a car in Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom, and Tobacco Row; Manchester is still a little ways out.
“Everything is within walking distance – if you have the time.”
Steven Wright
Not if you are on an island. Or want to get on an island. Or the moon. Ooh, or someplace in the air. And don’t forget about underwater. Or the fifth dimension. Although, I’ve never been there … so you might be able to walk there. I heard the gates to hell are in the Fan somewhere.
