interesting web site with maps
I discovered this web site today:
https://2milechallenge.com/home.html
It is meant to encourage bicycle travel by showing how many businesses are located within a two mile radius of your home or business. You can enter any address you like and get a two mile radius to search in for different types of businesses. It can be useful for bike commuters. While using the map, I discovered a donut shop located slightly off the route I use to commute into work in the morning. mmm...donuts!

Hell, two miles is what I consider walking distance. I sometimes use the bike for those trips, but usually I just hoof it. Thanks for the link, though. Will definitely bookmark it.

Woefully incomplete and inaccurate.
