Yeah, that's gonna be too far for me, dawg.
It's twelve blocks each way. You got this.
12 blocks is more like 2km, but nice try. It's still farther than I'd tend to walk, particularly for groceries.
How long are your blocks? In Chicago a block is one furlong.
I'm not really sure, but the nearby "fancy" grocery store is about that distance. 1.2 miles (1.9km), 27 minutes walk, 10 blocks (well, technically 15. Rectangular blocks. I counted two-for-one on the short sides).
I've walked to that store before, but I coordinated with my wife that she would meet me at the store on her way home from work. Walking both ways is just a little outside my "don't bother" perimeter.
Hmm, I could probably get used to it if I had to, but I don't really have any motivation. I already have a car, and the dollar a week to drive to the store won't break my budget.
