What's your walk score?

Ours is 85. Yes, people come to our neighbourhood to walk, bike and hang out in the park, waterside area.

I found it funny that according to the rating, we were close to..a medical library. It must be a private medical library or the hospital library which only hospital staff can use because I'm not aware of any other one. We are 15 min. walk from Vancouver's main Central library that looks like the Roman Colseum.

We live at the foot of 30 kms. bike and pedestrian path. Here I am way down on the bike below on the path, a photo taken from our balcony.

True we are 5 min. walk from closest coffee shop, another 10 min. elsewhere still tons more other cafes..and restaurants..the community centre is 5 min. away ...so is doctor, dentist, my bank, etc. 15 min. walk to commuter train. Next year we will have another commuter train station in a different direction that will take you out to the airport from downtown. That train bridge...will feature a bike path deck....

This is why we like to live not far from downtown or in downtown. Remember we see mountains and ocean while we are downtown.

No question, to move from Toronto to suburbs in Vancouver would have been abit of a mistake.
