Gotta' Love Walkability

Read this.

Chicago ranked #7 in walkability and Pittsburgh, one of my former homes, ranked #9. I love places that are walkable - which is one reason why I live in Chicago. There are so many transportation options - El, car, foot, bike. Not necessarily in that order.

I used to walk to work when I lived and worked in the loop. Now, sadly, I work in the burbs and can't do anything but drive to work. Of course, my office is tiny and none of my co-workers live in the CITY, so I can't ride share with them. And if I liked people more, I'd try to find some stranger to car share with. But it's really difficult to spend time with strangers / people and, frankly, I'm not that much of an environmentalist. I need the me time - whether it's walking, driving or riding (and ignoring you) on the El. So for now, I drive by myself - and the company is very good and entertaining, I must say.

However, that being said, the next job is not going to be in the suburbs. Ya' hear me on that one?
