How walkable is your neighborhood?

Mine, not so great. Over at Walk Score, my house just off of Boulevard Road scores a 25 our of 100, and that's with a few places that don't even exist (Johnson County Park?) boosting my neighborhood's apparent score.

The site takes into consideration the number of parks, schools, grocery stores and other places you would probably drive to within walking distance of you. The more places, the better your neighborhood scores.

So, go over there, and let us know how your neighborhood score. 

On a sidenote, I'm not all that surprised my neighborhood didnt' do well. Its actually one of the least community friendly neighborhoods in the city. I'm glad at least one city councilmember (recently appointed) wants to do something about that.
