I agree. Walking to the store is so beneficial and relaxing, unless you have to step over trash and roadside junk to get there! Whatever happened to tight-knit communities in which everyone knew each other and you could walk to the store for a soda-pop, following quiet, tree-lined streets and passing neighbors along the way? Nowadays it seems like everyone drives and lives completely indoors. Sometimes my neighborhood look like a ghost town!
Joke: a couple of kids ask their dad to take them to a friend's home. Dad replies, "Why, that is only two blocks away! Don't you children know what your two feet are for?"
"Yes," replied one. "One is for the accelerator, the other is for the brake."
