Most Georgetowners don’t need to be told what a joy it is to walk around our neighborhood. So they won’t be surprised that it’s been “proven” scientifically that Georgetown is just barely a “Walker’s Paradise” according to the Walk Score website.
Although GM is hardly one to argue with that conclusion, frankly the methodology isn’t quite sound. When you type in an address, it tells you a list of the closest coffee shops, or pharmacies, etc. But when you type in 3000 M St., it helpfully points out that the closest grocery store is some outfit called “Emerging Markets Private Equity” on Thomas Jefferson St. Something tells GM that they don’t stock much fresh produce.













So, so true. I can’t imagine why one would live in Georgetown who doesn’t walk alot. I think, though, that there are just as many Georgetowners that drive between locations even within our neighborhood, and they are often the ones setting planning. It would be revealing to ask ANC and CAG members how many of them drive to their meetings.
