Really interesting real estate Google Maps mashup

interesting indeed!

mine blew, Walk Score: 15 out of 100

but I already knew that

 

http://www.walkscore.com/get-score.php?street=11215&go=Go

78

and most spot in Manhattan is 100...

 

good contrast to me! while I have to drive everywhere and for everything, you have the world at your fingertips or Converse All-Stars as it were

 

Doesn't "Movie Theaters" figure too high in this?

 

yea, but you got clean air and virtually no noise...

all i need is BN, blockbuster, sport club and taco bell and they are all within 15 block

 

I got 57 out of 100. Must have lost points because the movie theater is 2.56 miles away.

 

the ol' CAF - clean air factor! I bet that's not included in the scale!

 

I got 60. but it is wrong because it says the nearest bar is 3 miles away, but in reality the nearest bar is .43 miles away. I should get a higher score. nearest library and hardware also 3miles. everything else is less than a mile.

 

We've got a 'doggie hotel' < 0.371 miles beat that!!

 

Walk Score: 18 out of 100

How sad

 

LOL I ran the address of the place that I lived while in college... It got an 88 out of 100. Must because of the 7 bars within .11 miles!! (Oh, those were the days...)

 

Hah, I got a walk score of 4!

 

cool, mine is 65

 

I scored 53 out of 100 - about what I would have expected.

 

At Cambridge UK? I would have expected that low a score at some far away ghost town.

 

Hehe, you'd be suprised. Technically it's Cambridgeshire.

 

I knew my place was walkable to many places, but this site just confirmed it! 95.

 

Mine was 33, live in a reasonably small town/large village so came as no surprise!
