Kinda neat. We score an 88. Seems about right, though I was surprised our old place is a bit lower. I am curious about the parameters they use, the website isn't as descriptive as I'd like.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 8:47amMy current apt scored a 55, which is weird since I'm right in the middle of the business/entertainment district on the island. My old apartment which had a longer walk to more places scored 3 points higher.
My old apartment in downtown Great Barrington scored a 92 though....woot GB.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 10:23amHmm, interesting. I live right next to a mall and only a few blocks away are a ton of stores and food places. Got a 72.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 10:45am68 where I live, though I don't consider most of the places around me as walkable. There's a major road cutting through the area, it's more of a driving community. Just weighting based on proximity isn't as smart as I'd like.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 1:55pmI've tried this several times throughout the day, but every time it says: "Sorry, Google is blocking requests from Walk Score because we are receiving too much traffic right now. We're working with Google to resolve this issue. Please try back in one hour. Thanks for using Walk Score!"
WTF. Is this thing racist or something?

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 2:14pm"We're sorry, Google feels you brown people should be running not walking, since you people seem so good at it."
Also, where I live got a 52, which is fairly acurate. My favorite thing about that site is the business listings that are walking distance. Aparently there's a vintage rock t-shirt store like right around the corner. I'm totally going to go buy a Toto shirt.

Wed, 08/08/2007 - 4:56pmFor ours they calculated using some places that were further away than the ones actually closest to us...we still got an 85 though.

Thu, 08/09/2007 - 6:53amHaha. Well, here's the reason I started playing WoW - the walk score at the place my parents lived? ZERO.

Thu, 08/09/2007 - 11:56amheh. my place in san francisco gets a 97... too bad it doesn't take into account the quality of the various businesses etc. then it would score like a -15 ;)

Wed, 08/15/2007 - 8:42pmOur crib scores an 89, but I think we should get bonus points for being able to swim to places as well as walk. :D

Thu, 08/16/2007 - 11:31amHeh, so was I. Had I not been, I would have said, "Qyn, that's a female body. Have you not seen one before?"
Vasya
Thu, 08/16/2007 - 12:11pmI think that's pretty standard for a female form.
