What's your walk score?
Found at tech blog I read, a website that will calculate the "walkability" of a neighborhood.

http://www.walkscore.com/

I've gone from a score of 38 out of 100 (with 100 being the best) to 77 in our new house. While some of the places used in it's calculations are marginal (hardware stores too specialized to really use, unavailable libraries in "state" schools, etc.) the marginal places were far worse in the old place than the new.

First person to blog to austinbloggers with an austin-related post using the site will win my admiration, gratitude, and maybe even some pecans from our yard. It's a cool site, but I'm too swamped with work now to spread the word.

The Austin-American Statesman is a movie theater? There's a library on Riverside?

We are currently using "as the crow flies" distances rather than walking directions. This means if you live across the lake from a destination, we are assuming you will swim.
