    I’m right there with you. Well, a bit worse, rocking a 20 for walkability. On a few occasions I have decided to take my life in to my own hands, walking the 1 mile alongside the cars which seem to have confused the 40 mph road with a drag strip.

    The sweet reward for doing so? Nothing but the finest of dining options. From Subway to McDonald’s to Taco Time, we’ve got it all!

      Taco time? You lucky dog! I got Jacky n the box down a 1 mile downhill. You can go there. That’s it. You can go there faster on a bike. Then just live there, there’s no point in coming back.
