Walk this way

The Freakonomics blog, one of Old Wahoo's favorite places to visit on the Web, had a cool posting on walkable neighborhoods. When I went to the Walk Score site, I found that our neighborhood is somewhat walkable, which I think is pretty accurate. We like to walk/bike to school, Mr. C's, Merchants and the hardware store, and we'd like to walk more if possible. 
I also looked up the neighborhood where I grew up in Virginia, and that result - you need a car to get around - also to be right on the money. If you go to Walk Score, make sure you sign their e-mail petition to urge more funding/access for walkers and bikers.
