Georgetown is a Walker’s Paradise

Georgetown is a Walker's Paradise

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.
