My address got a 63. Guess they don't count high probability of getting mugged or knifed while you walk against the score, either.
Most of the nearby restaurants they list are in the Baptist Hospital food court.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My current place rates a 34, but, like sarameg's, it doesn't take into account the actual walkability of the roads that go from point A to point B. I'd actually give my neighborhood around 15. Sucks.

Haha, I think we broke the site. It just told me that they're over their Google Maps limit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I saw some popular blog link to it yesterday, so I figure it's been getting pretty popular....

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hellooo, Natter!
My house got a *9* on that walkability thingie. Heh.
So exciting, paperdol!

I think I got low balled with a 91, but then our big grocery store closed. The closest bookstore listing, though, is Giant Robot.

Anyone know of awesome places to eat in Houston? Maybe that deliver? Maybe barbecue?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The grocery store it lists as close to me isn't a proper grocery store. V. small. At my previous address I was equidistant between a Vons and a Pavilions, I could walk to restaurants, bars, library, post office...it was tres cool.
Right now I don't walk anywhere from home, but I do walk a bit around work.

The house where I grew up has a score of 45, but it's changed a lot from when I was a kid--back then, we only had a gas station and school within walking distance, but there's been an explosion of stores and restaurants in the strip malls developed out of the farmland that surrounded the subdivision back in the '70s and '80s.
My current apartment is only a 23, which is understandable--the nearest thing that isn't residential is the library one mile north, and the Walgreens another 1/2 mile north of that.
