Perfect 100

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

We’ve noticed lots of people comparing their Walk Scores. One great thing about living in a condo (besides feeling good about your smaller environmental footprint) is that you and everyone else in the building can collectively brag about your Walk Score.

Seattle’s Trace Lofts just hung up a big Walk Score banner to advertise their perfect Walk Score of 100. Kudos to Trace Lofts for recognizing that a high Walk Score equals good living!

I also like how the designers of the banner couldn’t get a high-res image of Google Maps, so they pasted a Walk Score screenshot onto a cell phone. We’ve always wanted a mobile version of Walk Score—but why didn’t they use an iPhone?!

The Brady Bunch Goes for a Walk

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Here’s a great TV piece from LA analyzing the walkability of the Brady Bunch house. Apparently, momma and poppa Brady like walking to romantic dinners and Greg Brady likes walking to the gym to “stay in shape for the ladies.” Christina Cha, a real estate agent with a sense of humor, says living in a walkable neighborhood is important so she doesn’t wear down her stiletto heels walking too far. Christina also made some great comments about Walk Score and real estate. Check it out here!
