I will say for me and I will assume
@FrenchToast is that the 35 miles equates to about that much time. For instance, I know if I go back to where I used to live, it could take 30+ minutes to drive 5 miles due to traffic. I know what you are saying though, I would love to be able to walk to more places around here, I miss being able to get on my bike and ride to the grocery store for a few items. For the small town we have it is not very pedestrian friendly. Well no the actual downtown is, but the grocery store is on the outskirts of town. Downtown is like two blocks of antiques and taverns.
