Walk Score scores your address for walkability

Here's a cool mashup that's a wonderful example of technology helping create awareness of a quality of life and sustainability issue: Provide your address to Walk Score, and it will dynamically evaluate the walking distance to the key places, such as grocery stores, parks, and libraries.

Our home in Portland, Oregon scored a 69. My childhood home in Brooklyn, New York scored a 77. How about your place?

Brooke and I have a walk score of 77. I wonder what it takes to get a score in the 80's?
