Walking the walk

During my quest to find the perfect place to live downtown (moving early May), I came across what I consider one of the greatest Web sites -- Walk Score. The site, which assists users in finding a "walkable place to live," is extremely user-friendly. In addition to providing a Walk Score for an address, the site lists adjacent businesses, schools and libraries and even includes links for the Web sites of many of the locations. This site is a nice complement to another of my favorite sites -- Google maps -- which provides a route based on walking or public transportation options.
