Reclaiming our streets, reclaiming our lives: Google makes it easier Community headed in right direction! Bull Runner has lived in two communities where walking and biking everywhere was possible. She used a Googling walking map to get distance and directions from Tucker's Station to Fairgrounds, and, with Amazonian strides, beats their estimated time! Applauds Rotarians for Walk Around the World efforts By Barbara Armitage Only twice in my life I've been lucky enough to live in a community where it was possible and safe to walk or bike nearly every where I needed to go first in the planned community of Peachtree City, Georgia in the early 70's and then later in South Korea. Whether Columbia can turn it's self around and become a pedestrian friendly community is yet to be seen. However all change must start somewhere and the Rotary Club guiding us in the right direction. Walk Around the World is getting people out of their cars and thats a good thing in so many ways. If you are in the mood to spread your wings remember the old PF Flyers we used to wear Google can help you map out your walks. Go to www.maps.google.com from Get Directions put in your starting point A and destination B then click on Get Directions. Change the pull-down menu from by car to walking and the directions will give you information on the best route as well as an estimated walking time.I tested it. Google claims that its a 40 minute walk from Tuckers Station to the Fairgrounds I can make it in 30 but I have very long legs. This story was posted on 2008-08-08 10:17:53
