after trying all day after a tip from thrillist which led to their servers being maxed out most of the morning and afternoon, i was finally able to go to the website that would allow me to validate the seemingly high price we are paying for this new apartment. you see, a place like this is not only nice on the inside, but has a walkscore of 92 out of 100.
take that, friends with nicer and/or larger apartments way out in culver city or playa del rey! i can buy a tuxedo, go to a pilates class, eat indian food, see a movie, go to a concert, get a coffee, take my (hypothetical) kids to school and a park, or get drunk easily all in under a mile from my place. and maybe some fine sunny saturday, i will do just that. try it out and let me know how you compare so i can gloat.
Current place: 88
Last apartment: 94
Office: 98
Parent’s House: 0
I blame being too close to the lake for my current sub-90 score, I can’t go east. Though, I think any place in Chicago will score at least 85.
