Walk Score

Check out this interesting web site I found via Armcurl.

Walk Score helps people calculate the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. Your score will be a number between 0 and 100 and the walkability of an address depends on how far you are comfortable walking.

Tell me your walk score:)

    I believe that walk score is cool, but nowadays more and more people prefer to drive cars. Homes are often located in an area where some establishments are easier to get to by car than on foot. I’ve recently found a type of service on drivescore.fizber.com which is called Drive Score. It shows a map of what establishments are in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. It doesn’t mean that drive score is better than walk score – they are equal and both necessary in the modern world!
