This site will tell you if your area is walking friendly.

My neighborhood was 49 out of 100 - car dependent.

Your neighborhood scores higher than mine does. Mine is at 42/100.

Of course, now that Southern X-Posure is no more, the score will drop as that is the closest bar.

OTH, that site ignores that there is a park closer to my house than the one it says is the closest.

8 out of 100. neato.

The house where I grew up: 34 out of 100. And the closest Clothing and Music store is Reams. styling.

83 -- very walkable. I'm lovin' it.

52 out of 100. Somewhat walkable.

17.

But we have great sidewalks, so very walkable.

20/100

Also, I never knew Jamba Juice counted as a "bar". I guess it does in Utah but the rest of the world probably doesn't think so.

Jamba Juice was on my neighborhood's list as well. But it was waaaay down the list - maybe 5th or 6th. It was behind Orange Julius.

When they don't fully clean the blenders the juice ferments a little and Orem goes crazy on saturday night.

15/100. I find that depressing. I am doing my small part to overcome my dependence on my car by walking to the bus stop the days that I work and taking the bus. This isn't because we can't afford gas... I just don't like driving anyway.
