Walking....

A very big part of Southern Village's attractiveness to me is its walkability.

I got thinking about what I could walk to "do" here.......

+ Walk up anytime to Market Street or the Park and Ride lot and pick up a free copy of the Daily Tar Heel, the Independent and or the Carrboro Citizen.

+ Walk up to Market Street and buy anytime from a vending machine a copy of The New York Times, the News & Observer or the Herald-Sun (especially when they fail to deliver these to our driveway).

+ Walk to UNC campus.

+ Walk to the Ackland Art Museum!

+ Walk to O2 Fitness.

+ Walk to see flowers, a friend, a game on one of the fields.

+ Walk to the Lumina and watch a movie.

+ Walk to La Vita Dolce or Weaver Street Market and have a coffee whenever they are open.

+ Walk to La Vita Dolce, Weaver Street Market, Pazzo!, Merlion, Jaluka or Town Hall Grill and have lunch, and in several of those, dinner as well.

+ Walk to Merritt's out on South Columbia and have a meal or buy some of their food and other offerings.

+ Walk to church if you are of that faith and choose to do so.

+ Walk to the bank if you are a customer or choose to use any of its services.

+ Walk in the hope of saying hello to a neighbor, and if very lucky, with his or her dog in tow .... or being towed by

What else to add?
