I very much enjoy that the library is within walking distance from my house. If I wanted to get some new reading material, I can easily pop up there on my daily walk and check to see what they have. Also, there is a McDonalds and a grocery store within walking distance as well, so if I wanted something to eat, I can get that on my way back. Then I can easily walk to the park as well. Is there any place really close to your house that you can just walk to it? Looking forward to reading your responses.

Yes, I'm just pleased that there are some interesting places for me to go. I guess you got to live in the right spot. I would have gone insane without a little variety however, so its all good. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I am so very, very lucky where I live.
Out of my front gate I am on the River Lune and look out over the hills of the Lake District, out of my back gate I am straight on the Lancaster Canal and look out over the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales.
Here is a picture of where I walk straight out of my back gate!

Sure, there is a park around the corner, and down the street there is an entire cluster of stores. I could have my dogs groomed, get a manicure, haircut, go grocery shopping, grab some flowers for my mother, and an iced coffee for the trip back. Lots to do around here.


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

It does seem you have a lot of options. Its nice when all of that stuff is just a short walk away. You can get some exercise and get something done at the same time. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

hi there again megamatt.

i love walking and just appreciating my neighborhood. am quite glad that our house is located in the heart of the city and it is very peaceful.

from where i live, i can walk to different places. i can walk from home to different restaurants, to the park, to internet cafes, to the mall, to church, to some hotels and different clinics. however, it is unfortunate that the library, unlike with your situation, i need to take a ride to get there. also, the hospitals are not really walking distance from my house. =(

i would rather walk than take a ride if the place is just quite near. of course this is a little help to my health, because walking is an exercise. also, it is a help to nature. less vehicles = healthier air. =) let's promote walking.


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yes, exactly, more people should walk when they can. There are a lot of places that are in a reasonable walking distance, but people jump in the car and drive to it. Granted, if its an emergency that's fine but if it is not, then there's really no point in burning gas. It is healthier for us and the environment to just walk. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I am very lucky to have lived right next to a small public park. Granted it is very small, only the size of a football pitch, but it is still an enclosed space with lawn where my kids can run around and play.

A little bit farther off, but still in walking distance is a mall, no, make that 3 malls. Small malls, nevertheless malls, where I get everything from biscuits, groceries, clothes, you name it.

I love where we are living right now. It is close to everything but quite private as well. Of course I have nosy neighbours too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Well, nosy neighbors are a trade off for all of the places you have to go within walking distance. I think there is always a chance for nosy neighbors in a place that did not have three malls within walking distance. So you got to take the good with the bad. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

i have two different small strip plazas that i could walk to if i had good knees.one has a grocery store and a drug store plus a coffee and donut shop and the other one has a fairly good dollar store, discount store and thrift store.


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Ah great places. I love the dollar store, as you can find some good deals there if you are lucky enough. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

When we moved here 13years ago,there was practically nothing within walking distance from my home except a mosque. Now there are several places within walking distance like the newly built stadium with gyms and swimming pool available, shopping mall, the train station and supermarket just a few blocks away!


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Luckily there were new things built. Around here, the things were here but it was torture to get to them, because there was no sidewalk for many years. Now about six or seven years ago, they put in the sidewalk and it really increases my options for walking and I can go a bit further, to the places I mentioned. Still it is amazing how a little development can really enhance where you live. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I live at the beach so I just walk about a half of a mile to get to the beautiful shore and soft sand. There's also a general store in walking distance so I take my dog for a walk with me when I go there. If I went to church there's one in walking distance as well. There's not much around here but it's liveable and exciting in the summertime.

Take care


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Better than nothing. Especially with the beach there after all. It would be nice to go there, but I live rather far away from any beaches and it is just not economically feasible for me to go there these days. Perhaps one day. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Everywhere important! thumbup

Seriously, downtown is in walking distance to my house. We have area parks, restaurants, waterfronts, shopping, courthouse, police station...you name it..I'm near it...lol....well no that isn't true...I do have to drive to the mall :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. megamatt (7970)   ranked 196 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Still, even if the mall has to be driven to, you still have many options of places to go or see. It always helps add some interest to any walk when there is somewhere interesting to stop on your way around. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
