And if that happens, it shall henceforth be attributed to you.

Copes · #**582** Posted: **May 9, 2013, 4:34 PM**

Is the bad all that will be attributed to me going forward?

SignalHillHiker · #**583** Posted: **May 9, 2013, 4:35 PM**

Looks like we're saying goodbye to Frontline Paintball, though I doubt they'll have a hard time relocating.

I noticed on Google Maps that Ladysmith goes almost all the way from Kenmount to Thorburn now. I had no idea.

Like a tentacle reaching out for something to grab on to.
Lol, and it has a walk-score if only 5.

Eventually it will turn east and intersect with messenger drive.

For comparison, Duckworth got an 88. What great neighbourhoods we're building

I just checked out the walk score website.....it's a bit questionable

I tried to figure out how Halifax got a better score than us considering the HRM is sprawled beyond belief. It would appear that when taking the city area in to account, the website only considers Halifax peninsula and Dartmouth, whereas St. John's encompasses all of St. John's unused land (city boundaries), plus a portion of Bay Roberts that I'll never understand.

EDIT: never mind, I figured it out! When zooming into a city it'll also show the rating of the surrounding city. Though that's still a lot of land bringing our overall walkability down

The highest scores for downtown St. John's seem to be in the high 80s, and according to this site, even living in the Outer Battery would make you car dependent. Sometimes a block or two makes a huge difference.

it's questionable anyways... it's flawed and doesn't get amenities right .. because of the hills it takes the score down also etc.
