What's Your Walk Score?

I saw this article in today's Post-Gazette and thought that I would link to it from here so that everyone could check out the "walk score" for their Lebo-based home. The site isn't without its flaws as evidenced by the comments about the PG staffers that live in Mt. Lebanon and tested the web site with their addresses:

This week, 17 Post-Gazette staffers tested their addresses against WalkScore's veracity and practicality.

The Mt. Lebanon residents among them were perplexed that their walkability score did not take into account the nearby restaurants on Washington Road but listed those on more distant Mt. Lebanon Boulevard.

PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.

Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
