Jake just told me about this website that calculates how walkable a neighborhood is based on proximity to schools and workplaces, pedestrian-friendly layout, well-connected streets, etc. I looked at the address of the old Madison apartment on Mifflin and it rated as a 98 out of 100! Wow! My old place in Eau Claire rated as a 42...I remember griping a lot when I moved there how I felt disconnected from everything. Our place right now is a 72. I think walking most places is doable from here. It makes me happy to live in a place that is walkable. I definitely want that wherever we end up settling down.

My house right now is a 31. No wonder I'm all fat and stuff.
My first place living in Virginia was Springfield, which turns out to be an 86. The only reason I assume is because it's right next to a mall. However, that was not very walkable. Quite unfriendly to pedestrians.
where i'm living now is a 54. my parents house is a 5. no big surprise there!!
Ha! My house got a big old ZERO-- it's at least 8 miles to anything...
My house in Hancock got an 80, which is probably wrong-- a lot of palces are in the wrong spot. It says Shopko is a half-mile away, but it's gotta be three miles or so.
