Bon samedi tout le monde!
... which is why mass transit can't succeed. Even if it's free, it won't be as convenient as having a car and being able to go exactly where you want, and come back with far more than your arms could carry.
I'm a 58, but that doesn't account the bus route that's four blocks from my house.
Meh.
43 out of 100. That's why I have a car.
i got a Toyota Yaris and drive less than 8000 km (around 4500 miles) a year with it. I'm a good girl, right?
Go to any large European City. Mass transit can and does succeed, sometimes beautifully.

God damn, you sure look young for 58, zapper.

You aren't very smart, are you?
i want giant pneumatic tubes that will deliver everything to my house.
Oui, plum P!
In my move from Montana to AZ the walk score of where I live went from zero to 3. I like living in the sticks, with wild animals roaming in my yards.
My proximity to the 'City' has massively improved. There are off Broadway productions at the TCC, and the U, and shopping and restaurants in Tucson are excellent. Missoula? Phft!
Hey billy!
Yeah, I show my age well...
as I was saying...and not that anyone asked, but I thought Keith was over the top and windy on the HRC comment.
It aint cool to talk assassination--I agree--and while there is plenty wrong with what she is doing -- this is just a distraction from BUSHCO and Steny playing pattycake with the phone companies.
i prefer to put the focus on mcsame, his phony medical record non-release, his flip-flop on teleco immunity just yesterday--now he is for it again after being against it for one day--his vote against GI benefits, his lobbyist army, the lapdance express hypocrisy, the tax cuts for the rich, the pandering to the religious right and ....
ZAP IS A LIAR!
no way he's 58!
35
Nearest food store is a 7-11. Doesn't count in my book as a grocery store.

DC's Metro is a very successful example of mass transit, idiot- fucking-ass.
But I want to know if my walkscore jibes with my sleep number...

HRC wants the focus on herself, and she's willing to say pretty offensive things to keep it there.

We have a really big rabbit that rooms around our neighbor. We call it "Food Of The Gods" bunny.
My walk score is 58, but there are no grocery stores nearby.
There is a 7-11 very near me, which I've been into once in two years.
NOOOOOO!!!!!
My walkscore is 58. My age is 32.
It's so good in so many ways to walk a mile and a half every day and so easy to avoid.

Alas, my dear - Delaware is teh suck when it comes to walking.
my home in Omaha got a surprisingly high score of 82
I got a 98. Nothing like Manhattan.
Gordon Ramsay really needs to increase her vocabulary to include some non-curse words.
Does anyone know of a 'bikescore' of similar ilk?
we agree, peterboy. Keith's comment yesterday was over the top, and Jon Stewart is too nice with McCain. But considering what Keith and Jon say the rest of the times, i give them a pass.
Keith and Jon are not our puppets. They can't say and do everything we want them too just cause they seem to be the only ones thinking "like us" on teevee!
57... there is a relatively nearby grocery to my home.
This doesn't take into account that the heat index today (and probably for the next five months) will be in the high nineties/low hundreds in my central Houston neighborhood.
WE do a lot of walking for fun and exercise, however.
And I can take the bus.
NOOOOOO!!!!!
My walkscore is 58. My age is 32.
heh.
Sorry I started that shit, my boy.

Are you living on-top of a hill or mountain, or in a hollar?
If on top of a rise, the wind electric generation potential of your location may be excellent without putting up a tower that is any higher than is necessary than to protect humans and live stock. This may matter a lot in the future. Unfortunately from what you've said about Thers, it would be you Molly who'd have to put it up.
Yay!
This song is playing on my radio.

But it makes up for it in so many ways.
I think we hit Bellevue State Park 2-3/week.
Just lovely.
Google "Bike Score". It appears there is one.
Ouzo is painting the trim today.

Doug,
We're looking at systems. And I don't mind putting it up.
That reads slightly pornographic. He's painting the door trim today. We're installing new doors in our place. Next big project is a bathroom remodeling.

The parks are nice. Ever been to Brandywine SP?
I have so many bunnies where I live that it's like having suicide bunnies attacking your vehicle whenever you drive out from here. Bunnies diving under your car from all directions.
And if you live in Wyoming like the Virginian and his pal, Trompass, did, it's a day and a half on horseback just to get off of the ranch and three days on the buckboard into Medicine Bow for a sack of flour and some two by fours.
Minneapolis is, by far, a more walkable city than St. Paul....unless you have really strong calve muscles.
Seeing that fire in the Redwoods near Santa Cruz makes me sad.
billy, not yet. We'll get there eventually.
Zap: do you want to be my boytoy
(but i was a Smiths more than a Bunnymen in the 80s.)
Got any jackalopes, Doug?
Zap's just a pup, but he's adorable.

Bunni-ciders.
(but i was a Smiths more than a Bunnymen in the 80s.)
Well, seeing that I'm a 32-YO "kid", I found Echo before I discovered the Smiths.
Either way, they're all good. 
American hawk seems to think that cars have been around for 30,000 years or so. What a fucking moron.
Got any jackalopes,
We've got at least three different kinds of rabbits, Jack, little bunnies, and something else...
In any case whenever you plant anything, the first job is to get some lengths of rebar, and chicken wire to make a fence. The little fuckers will chew on ANY new planting.
They have our place as a 20. Of course, they have a online grocery store as being 3.03 km away and a supermarket/pharmacy as being the closest drug store at 2.58 km away. There are TWO Safeways about 1.6 km away, 1.2 km if you walk. Both Safeways are in mini-malls that have a liquor store, vegetable store, restaurants, video store, medical clinic, vet, pet food store, Starbucks, fast food chains, and another major pharmacy.
So I 'd take that walkscore with a grain of salt.

Atrios' fixation on public transportation reminds me of the old truism: "There's a weirdo on every bus, and if you can't spot the weirdo, then you're him."
AH has also never been to a place with great transit, like Berlin.
I don't ride the subway for one simple reason: I don't want to be pushed on to the tracks. Paranoid? Absolutely!

Whatever happened to Shonen Knife?

More than that, he's pretty fucking wise for only 32.
if i pick my main street (2 miles away) i get a walkscore of 100...if i pick my road, it's 20
i'd rather live here than on main street, thank you
No one called sheets!
Omg. I just realized the Y2K fears actually happened. The US goes batshit crazy and becomes a rogue nation...

Ours was, too. Apparently roadkill is not considered a walkable amenity.
.
When I visited Potsdam about six years ago there were so few cars you could walk at 10 a.m. down the middle of a four lane street. The only vehicles I saw were buses.
I was wondering why I got a 26 (about 25 more than I thought I would). Seems like they don't consider walking across the lake a big deal.
Plus, the city I live and work in is an island in a river delta, so it's FLAT. And yes, we have two inflatble boats AND two cat cages for our two cats.
That's neat. Mine is a 35, but doesn't mention that there are no sidewalks to any of the locations listed; you have to walk in the road with the cars and trucks to get to them.
Seeing that fire in the Redwoods near Santa Cruz makes me sad.

Amen.
Coulda been worse, though.

And let's not get into the squirrel problem. The squirrels around my house must be former Blackwater employees because the don't care who they hurt or what they destroy.
Apparently roadkill is not considered a walkable amenity.
I can't think why.
And yes, we have two inflatble boats AND two cat cages for our two cats.
Do the cat cages float?
we kinda try to solve the walking problem in -20 in the winter:
Montreal's Underground City (French: La ville souterraine) is the set of interconnected complexes (both above and below ground) in and around downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is also known as the indoor city(ville intérieure), and is the largest underground complex in the world.[1]

East Germany was deathly devoid of traffic; The Lives of Others captures it perfectly.
I got a 98 Walkscore. Oh my, I feel so virtuous.
Not.
I don't know if the drawn out Dem primary is helping McBush, but it seems that McBush is not helping himself.
Apparently roadkill is not considered a walkable amenity.
Wait 'till grill-season next year.
good question! i don't know!
Someone should find out and let us know. So music critic or a blogger who knows about power pop. That would be helpful.
All things considered, for real estate valueing purposes, wouldn't you expect to get more points for a bar that is a quarter or half mile away versus one that is 0.05 miles away?
Went to a garage sale this morning where the family had a daughter about 6. Clearly, she was as interested in princesses as Rosie. Got a huge haul of pink shit for cheap. She's modeling it now.
gravatars wink out. uh=oh.
More than that, he's pretty fucking wise for only 32.
WE'RE DOOOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
The Lives of Others captured alot of stuff well, especially the horror of an eavesdropping government and the pernicious nature of the security state.
East Germany was deathly devoid of traffic
Out in the countryside, everybody was getting around on motorcycles. My beau had one til he moved to Berlin.
95, baby.
What your new neighborhood is a hip bakery.
East Germany was deathly devoid of traffic; The Lives of Others captures it perfectly.
heh. In 1980, I was visiting East Berlin. I was standing on a street corner with a few other people. Every corner had bombed out buildings from WWII. There was a light but no traffic in sight so I started to cross against the light. Christ did I get yelled at!
Sparkly pink plastic high heels?
And yes, we have two inflatble boats AND two cat cages for our two cats.
<i>Do the cat cages float?</i>
The plan is the three humans on the three person, the two cats in cages on the two person tied behind....
My walk score will probobly improve soon, about 3 miles down the road some Greek has purchased a long out of business restaurant, and seems to be building a large expansion and parking lot. I haven't talked to him in months though, when I did he wanted to know if I wanted to manage a store for him.
I didn't, it seemed like it might be one of those 24/7 type jobs.
I'm trying to get my health up to par, not wreck it.
On that note, I've noticed that arthritic afflictions have mostly ceased, though I'd had those happening since my 30's. I think my surgeon in Montana removed an infectious process, that I'd had for a very long time, because the worst arthritic affliction, my shoulder, and back went away as soon as I reduced the morphine in the hospital bed. (that I could notice it at all)
That would be helpful.

That's just plain German, they do that in the West too.
Walkscore 17, age 54
We're in the largest city of the state, but can regularly walk around the block in the middle of the road without seeing a car.

Okay, now I've got Monty Python and the Holy Grail in my haid.
Longs Drugs (0.2) has most of the hardware and gardening stuff that I'd otherwise have to get from Ace (0.5).
But it's not counted by Walkstore.
This program is flawed, I tell you. Deeply, deeply flawed.
“The core image of John McCain is as a reformer in Washington — and the more dominant the story is about the lobbying teams around him, the more you put that into question,” said Terry Nelson, who was Mr. McCain’s campaign manager until he was forced out last year. “If the Obama campaign can truly change him from being seen as a reformer to just being another Washington politician, it could be very damaging over the course of the campaign.”
Hah!
Alles muss ganz in ordnug sein!
They're still around.
I knew we could count on you, Molly Ivors!
res has a higher score than watertiger?
Having been both places, I admit I'm surprised.

pink princess stuff is EVIL! my 8 years old niece Lea is starting to get over them. But it's an hard addiction to break...

My older girl wanted so much to be one of sisters in Pirates of Penzance. . From about 2 till 8 y.o. she was always dressing up in all sorts of outfits trying to approximate the Victorian look. Usually included a feather boa or two.
*sigh*

Yeah, come to think of it my German grandmother would have yelled at me.
Marcellina-- Earlier people were nominating best cities for public transit. People suggested Paris and Singapore, I nominated Berlin. What's your favorite?
Taste is a personal thing, but I can easily live a happy life sans "ting ting".
Someone is blasting "Funky Town". Nothing wrong with the song, but it's way too loud.

We don't have as many Pinkberries down here.

Go over there with your taser and zap the crap out of the offender.
Then stand over him or her and say, "There. Now you're in funky town."
I got a walk score of 55, thought I think some of the mileage is incorrect. Also, I can walk 1 block to one bus route, and another 2 blocks to another.
Shonen Knife just couldn't cut it.
Germans don't queue up for busses.
The bus comes and everyone jams up at the door.
Surprised the hell out of me.
Would you New Yorkers stop rubbing your high scores in our faces. We get it! We live in the sticks and you are all "soooo cosmopolitan".

plantsman,
Evidently walkscore.com has not heard of the Knox County Grange Ladies Book of Crock Pot Cookery.
.
Generally speaking, you don't want to carry lumber and granite home in your environmentally-conscious cloth bags.
Gromit, I couldn't say — I haven't been everywhere!
All the large German cities are easy to get around, that's for sure.
Then stand over him or her and say, "There. Now you're in funky town."
That sounds like the police may get involved. I need a lawyer. Is there a lawyer in the house?
I concur on London Drugs: bought computer, vcr, dishwasher, grinder, chopper , toaster oven and even some drugs there.
It's true the trip back is a little, interesting.

Beautiful day for a picnic yesterday. Sorry that I couldn't make it.
Good afternoon, friends.
Just saw a commercial about a show on June 9 about....you guessed it....9-11.
I know a lot of people died on that day but how much longer is the U.S. media going to milk it?
Die kleindorfen, nicht so viel.
BTW: I love the example ad they have at Walk Score...the fake stores and restaurants they list:
"Durn Good Grocery"
"Rocking Wok"
Sorry, but I probably wouldn't frequent those places if they were in my city...
time to go plant some stuff
later, folks
Singing Pants? Kuhl!
I dunno, I think Rockin' Wok is a great name for a theme Chinese restaurant.

The Bathroom Lesbians first hit.
Sorry, that was supposed to be "an Elvis-themed Chinese restaurant.'
Molly,
Within six blocks I have three markets, six coffee places, two dry cleaners, two shoe repairs, a fish place, two bakeries, Korean/Chinese/Italian/Japanese/Frenchy restaurants, three pizza places, two drug stores, a copy shop, a diner, and a video place. That's what I can remember right now.

The first time I visited my friend in Calgary back in November 1999, we went to one of those.
Couldn't believe all the stuff they sold.
Yeah Plantsman, but the villages have the advantage of a couple of shops in the center (even the tiniest one has an Eduscho shop/bakery) and a bus stop.
95 here in Chicago. This year my car sat unused for so long that I permanently ruined the battery.

In SF, new Chinese restaurants with immigrant clientele were very brightly lit, established ones Anglos frequented, dimmer.
Got stoned with my friend Jane one night and walked into a REALLY BRIGHT one. We were so uncomfortable -- and fucked up.
That's what I can remember right now.
No lumber yard? No granite dealer?

I may try to come down for that.

On Thursday I took a trip to see some of the old towns in the Sacramento River delta.
Isleton and Locke are still pretty cool. Some moron tried to build some yuppie condos outisde of Isleton and they look like pure shit. I doubt that project will ever meet the developer's dreams or anything close to it.
The entire town of Locke was built by Chinese in the second decade
