How Walkable Is Your Neighborhood?

by pearlgirl

In July, Walk Score announced the 10 most walkable cities in the country. As you may recall, Portland was number 10 on the list and eight of our neighborhoods received scores that designated each as a "walker's paradise."

If you missed the announcement, or want to learn more about Walk Score, read the article in the New York Times.

Big thanks to Pearl neighbor Martin Bleeck for sending us the info!
