My "Walk Score"
Here's an interesting site that calculates the "walkability" of your neighborhood, the distance to grocery stores, schools, etc. I went back historically a ways.
Seattle 89
Bellevue 37
Renton 37
Kansas City 46
Coralville 66
S Johnson 91
Chaos 57
Hillcrest 77
East Moline 31
Apparently, my AUR apartment on South Johnson was the most walkable, followed by this Capital Hill apartment. And the house I grew up at was the least.
It does seem to lump weak items into the categories. My new apartment is really close to a Safeway, and a TJ's is just a skip farther away, but at South Johnson they counted the QuikTrip (or whatever it is now) on Burlington. That may just even out substituting the "Central Cinema" for an actual movie theater.
