Cheer up, mine only scored a 9. Amusing to find distances to the nearest bars, only one of which I'd ever heard of. Must need to get out more. <<gg>>

i got a 23 and a 25 and you'd have to be a pro walker.

Cool. I scored 95. Not surprising that I don't own a car :)

My walkscore is a 3! But I'm sure that didn't take into account that on one side of my yard is a 10 acre farm, and on the other side of that is a 30 acre farm. We take long walks and my Whippet loves to run along in the vast fields. I guess one can't be close to everything. So, do I have the lowest score - or what?

Cool site. My house scored a 35 which is pretty accurate. I don't live in a very walkable neighborhood.

My house got an 83. I don't think their program takes topography into account. I live near the top of a very steep three-hundred foot HILL. Very few people walk down. Even fewer walk back up! <g>

I tried 1 Park Avenue on the Walk Score - a perfect 100

Actually very good site. My house in Georgetown scored a 92 and my house in Palmetto Bay a 15. Both pretty accurate. Although the Georgetown house for me would be a 98. The ratings are not up to the second. They just opened up a new Starbucks within walking distance (less than 1/2 a mile) of my Palmetto Bay house and I notice that they have Starbucks listed at over 2 miles (horrors can you imagine?). Just curious how much a nearby Starbucks counts. For me nothing. For my daughters everything.

Got a 32 on the walk score. Probably because one side of my entire neighborhood is a 350 mile long x 70 mile wide lake and most people I am aware of have not mastered walking on water yet.

6 - as good an excuse as any to get a new car.
