shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovy

I was just telling someone the other day that I think I walk more here in Los Angeles than I did in New York. Yes, you read that right. I may not clock as many actual miles - the subway was never close enough - but I can walk from my home in Los Feliz to more frequent destinations here than I ever could in Brooklyn. So my neighborhood walking score of 77 (a C+!) seems plain wrong.

In a stunning twist, my old 3rd Avenue home address in Gowanus also scored a 77, but my Gramercy Park work address scored an impressive 98! My current work address on the outskirts of downtown scored an 80, so clearly the index does not factor in whether you'd actually be comfortable walking in that neighborhood.
