Something for Christmas


Happy Holidays to all my readers.
As a little gift for the season, here are two useful sites you might want to bookmark.
Walk Score - Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. They calculate the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, and more.
Crime Reports - Type in an address and you'll get the latest crime reports in the area. Any person can sign up to receive free crime reporting and community policing email alerts from local law enforcement. You can choose the type, frequency and geography for reports and alerts you wish to receive based on their geocoded address.
Best of all...these are free!

I believe that walk score is cool, but nowadays more and more people prefer to drive cars. Homes are often located in an area where some establishments are easier to get to by car than on foot. I've recently found a type of service on drivescore which is called Drive Score. It shows a map of what establishments are in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. It doesn’t mean that drive score is better than walk score – they are equal and both necessary in the modern world!
