My Walk Score

This website has gotten a lot of press lately, especially here in Jacksonville. Well, after hearing all of the hubub about it I decided to go on and see what kind of score my home gets. I scored a wopping 72 out of 100. Everything I need, clothes, medicine, entertainment, is within a 1 mile radius of my front door. How cool is that?! If you haven't checked this out for your neighborhood yet, I suggest you do so. You never know, it could open your eyes to some possibilities that you hadn't thought of. And we could all use a little push to change our pace a little.
My wife and I have been talking about switching to commuting by bike for quite some time now. I started about 2 months ago and soon she'll be doing the same. We both work less than 3 miles from home, so it makes the decision a lot easier. But go check out some of the websites and blog communities out there. It's really not as hard as you might think to switch to a slower, healthier, cleaner, cheaper lifestyle.
