Sorry, I've been out of town the past 2 weeks. I appreciate the feedback so far.

anielsen - I've been looking at Oakwood as well. I punched some preferences into WalkScore.com and that neighborhood looked great.

I also saw a bus to downtown that connects to an Wright-Patt Express - so looks like a good backup plan there.

Too bad about the trails not being paved, but again I expect that is because they are primarily seen as a recreation facility - not a transportation one. Here snow isn't an issue because 1) we don't get much, 2) the streets are usually warm enough to melt it, and 3) it is usually gone by noon.

Do most of you guys drive/take the bus/etc in the Christmas-February time period?

Thanks!
