ONE MORE REASON TO HOOF IT

According to WalkScore.com and TheDailyGreen.com, Long Beach is one of the 10 most walkable cities in America.

From Walk Score, “52% of Long Beach residents have a Walk Score of 70 or above. 85% have a Walk Score of at least 50—and 15% live in Car-Dependent neighborhoods.”

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds pretty good. So now you have one more reason to hoof it on your next trip to work/the store/the rubber tree/the beach, but you probably drove today, huh? Look at you sitting there, smelling of non-renewable energy sources and greed. You don’t even care do you? You’re not going to walk today, or any other day are you? You disgust me.

    I'm not suprised. I moved to Long Beach in part so that I could park my car on Friday evening and not get in it again until Monday morning. For the most part I can do that and it's become an even more valuable asset since gas became so expensive. Someone tell our city planners that people like to walk, ride bikes, Segway, etc.
