How walkable is your neighborhood?
Just type your address (or any address, for that matter) into Walkscore and the service will go to work finding all the grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, movie theaters, parks, libraries, bookstores, and drugstores it can using Google Maps. When it's done searching, Walkscore will spit out a walkability score on a scale of 1 to 100.

Walkscore could come in handy if you're thinking of moving, or if you just want to find out which amenities in your neighborhood you've been missing out on.
