on 6/20/2008 I agree with vallain. Walking around the neighborhood at different times of the day will give you an insight about the neighborhood! Great article!

on 6/17/2008 Great tool! I'd also want to actually walk around the neighborhood at different times of day to see how safe I feel. The walkscore helps prescreen a neighborhood for walkability, but I want to know if gang members hang out on certain street corners as well. 5 stars.
