How walkable is your neighborhood?
Jason Hardin, a staff writer for the Greensboro News & Record, recently wondered how walkable his community is. In his research, he runs across a website called Walk Score, where you can calculate the walkability of your own neighborhood.
I'm feeling pretty good (but not great) about my own neighborhood's score: a 43 out of 100. But, I feel much better about the walkability of the NC Conservation Network's office in downtown Raleigh: a 89 out of 100!
What's your neighborhood's score?

My neighborhood got 85, it really is close to a lot of things. I can walk to work in 5 minutes, and that's why I moved to that neighborhood.

The walk score of my home is 0. We are out in the country and most of the services listed are at least 2 miles away. Nancy's work is downtown Chapel Hill and the walk score there is 88.
