It doesn't actually measure connectivity of the streets (there is actually a GA Tech professor who worked out a formula to plug into a GIS system to calculate that -- the Fairlie-Poplar neighborhood came out with the strongest connectivity in that respect.). Generally, connectivity is a really good measure of how walkable a neighborhood is, though it's not a hard-and-fast rule.<BR/><BR/>One very important thing walkscore doesn't measure is access to transit.<BR/><BR/>In any case, this is just a couple of things even the Walkscore guy <A HREF="http://www.walkscore.com/how-it-doesnt-work.shtml" REL="nofollow">admits the tool doesn't measure</A>.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah... I got a 72. My place is right around the corner from the Krispy Kreme.<BR/><BR/>Taking a closer look, I noticed the map seems to think there's a Kroger where there's actually Mary Mac's.Joeventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065739015288268209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847601.post-35249227216075415222007-11-29T10:47:00.000-05:002007-11-29T10:47:00.000-05:00Mine was 57, but I thought it would be higher cons...Mine was 57, but I thought it would be higher considering I'm within a mile of Virginia Highland, Ansley Mall, and all the shopping lining Highland in Morningside.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339673763054572203noreply@blogger.com
