What's Your "Walking Score?" - Page 2

0 and I'm happy to have it.

I live 4 miles from the nearest town and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

When I wanna CRANK IT UP I don't have to worry about the neighbors calling the cops!

Years ago I rented a trailer in a trailer park (redneck!!)
One day I was practicing and the friendly neighborhood constable came knocking at my door. When I answered the door I was still holding my guitar. He looked at me kinda funny and proceeded to tell me the nighbors had reported a terrible sound coming from my trialer and he wanted to make sure everyone was OK.

I'm not sure my guitar playing is any better these days but at least I don't have to worry about the neighbors. Besides, why walk when you can ride your motorcycle!

11. Gives me an excuse to ride my bike for errands and the golf course is in my back yard so it can't be all bad.

I live in a great neighbourhood in one of the safest cleanest cities in the world and I got a 30.
It says the nearest grocery store is over 5km. away yet I can look out my living room window and see a Safeway through the trees at the end of the street. They even have one grocery store listed number 5 that is in the UNITED STATES?
I did a quick search of a busy downtown area of Vancover B.C., it is noisy and dirty and crowded and it got 92.

I guess it's all based on walkable consumerism.

The whole reason for them doing this is so they can put a little cookie in your computer that tells them that someone from your address is on line and they can target banner adds specific to your location. Marketing genious!.
