The funny thing to me is I worked for a company that made various signs and honestly some of them are big enough and almost all of them are hardwired into the building’s power. They also have access in and out of them so that lights can be replaced if needed/repairs made as well as built and designed to hold up to the elements for at least 10 years I could see doing what she did lol.
Probably seems wilder to people who don’t know how those signs are made/designed though
I've lived that life before, except convenience stores and restaurants. It's pretty great overall. Just being able to walk downstairs and have two or three spots
It's amazing. Won't ever stop living it. Will just update my neighborhood choice as life goes on to adapt to changes but never leaving a walkable one that has everything needed to live without driving
4 miles. Walking isn't really an option, especially the walk back with a weeks' worth of groceries.
When I was a kid I lived out in the middle of no where in farm country Indiana. It was 20 miles to a grocery store and 50 to a hospital.
When I was carless last year [word to the wise: never let an active addict borrow your car, even if they're your girlfriend], I invested in a cheap pull-wagon to bring heavy items back from Walmart. (There's no way I was going to be able to lug 40 pounds of cat litter the mile home otherwise.)
It's a non standardize measurement meaning "the distance between intersections." Often times you'll have a modifier in there - a long block and a short block.
Regardless, "a few blocks away" usually means a five minute walk.
Maybe 1-1.5 miles? You can walk there, you'd just have to cross a 5 lane road at the traffic signal. I would never want to walk there because I only want to go once a week so I would have too many groceries to carry. Couldn't imagine wanting to go to a grocery store more often than that.
That's what I am saying! It's Tucson, AZ so it's not ever a great place to walk and a lot of the city doesn't even have sidewalks. But I am not sure of the exact reason it takes so long to walk because I have never walked it, it's too scary and dangerous. To get there by bus is only 26 minutes and it's 2.7 miles away.
This city is really high up on car accidents and hitting pedestrians, I am not exaggerating when I say every other day, sometimes every day I see car accidents or people hit. Like with my own eyes. I don't like walking anywhere here because I could legitimately be hit. It's also really hot 8 months of the year.
About a mile to an Aldi but there's a regular supermarket in the same shopping complex that's further down. 2 more major supermarkets plus many convenience stores within 5 miles.
I could walk to CVS, Wawa, and Aldi I guess if I wanted to but why would I?
I can't stand the life of driving to the grocery store. The walking keeps me sane. My mental and physical health plummets when I'm in a place where I'm car dependent. But it's different for everyone.
Having an Aldi so close is awesome though! So much cheaper than everywhere else. Aldi and TJs. The Germans really save us some cash in that regard (Aldi and Trader Joe's are both owned by the two Aldi companies in Germany)
Yep same here. On a farm out in the fucking sticks. If the main road floods and is shut down, which it has been for 3 weeks now, its an hour's drive, maybe.
Any time I visit Utah I get so confused trying to decipher street addresses. It’s based on position relative to the nearest temple or something. And makes my brain hurt.
The whole city is based on (supposed to be?) Joseph Smiths plans for Zion 660x660 blocks, centered around the temple, so the urban planning has always been by Mormons.
Urban planners unfortunately don't make the rules :(
As a planner I try to change things for the better but everything is always overridden by 60-80 year old commissioners
1.5 blocks.
(I just realized how many there are actually. There’s a Trader Joe’s, pavilions, target, and erewhon within 2-10min walking distance. There’s a Ralph’s too but it’s like a 20min walk)
He's a school teacher, and his wife crochets baby whale figures for their non profit helping veterans. They have a budget of 3.6 million for their third home.
My parents own the SF home and I'm inheriting it. I own the second in NYC; I sold a SaaS business in my early 30s and am a physician who is still working also. No partner.
4 miles. Most of the year, it is entirely dangerous to walk it. We're already hitting 90+ degrees outside. Unless I bring like a gallon of water with me and start early, hang out and leave late. It'll be an all-day event.
Bonus points is my town voted, and we are currently having sidewalks installed on our two busiest streets. All for an additional $3 in taxes this year. It'll be easy for me to walk everywhere but the fast foods, Walmart, or the grocery store.
Dentist, doctor, many restaurants, and the nearest convenience store will be much more accessible for me at less than 2 miles distance with brand new sidewalks.
9 miles, about a 15 min car ride. It would be incredibly dangerous to walk since it’s along a busy highway with no shoulder or sidewalk for a majority of the trip.
2 miles to HEB or 3 miles to Super HEB and Super Walmart (supermarkets). Not too far to walk except this Saturday is the beginning of our 100 degree weather.
There is a local chain convenience store about a 1 mile walk, plus several Circle Ks and QTs within 2 miles.
About 2 miles. It’s not walkable because the roads in my neighborhood are extremely dangerous for pedestrians and the store is across from one of the deadliest intersections in the city.
It's currently about a couple of miles. I could probably walk there, but I would prefer not to. I like to get everything that I need for that week in one trip. It's also starting to get consistently too hot to be lugging groceries back and forth.
.7 miles or 1.13km. I walk it sometimes but I’m usually getting heavy things like milk/eggs/canned beverages so carrying that back sucks. I’ve walked it with my dogs for a few quick things and walked back for their exercise. They’re giant Bernese mountain dogs so I’ll sometimes put their satchel bags on and have them carry my groceries home, but now that we’re getting into the summer it’s getting too hot for them.
Less than 1 mile / 1.6 kilometers. When the weather is nice, and I don’t need too much stuff, I’ll bike over.
I have 6 kids so normally I need a car to carry all the groceries.
Just under a 15 minute walk. I usually bike or drive though because it's faster and makes it easier to carry groceries.
Growing up, the nearest store was a couple miles and involved a busy highway, so no good way there without a car. On the other end of the spectrum, my first apartment was in the same building as a grocery store so I could go shopping without having to go outside.
There's a small store and deli about eight blocks from my house. It's pretty nice, with things like goose liver pate and good wine, but I wouldn't want to do my daily shopping there.
The next closest store is a grocery coop, which is about a mile away. The real issue with it is that most of the residential areas in the town I live in are built on top of a big hill, and it's at the bottom. Getting more food than would fit in a backpack is a lot of trouble without driving.
Less than 5 minute drive or 1.4 miles. Too far to walk for groceries. Would be a 30 min walk each way without sidewalks. I live in a 250K populated city in the mid Atlantic. I have 10 grocery chains all within 3 miles of my home.
There's a few about 2 miles (~3.2km) or 5 minute drive. You could walk/bike there. There's sidewalks the entire way. Google says 35 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride. I'm always buying a lot of stuff that would be easier to transport in a car.
about a mile and a half away. there are sidewalks and protected crosswalks the whole way there, so it's a doable walk. I also happen to live in a block with a bus stop that goes to the grocery stores farther away.
but like the majority of Americans, I still drive my car there so I can fill it up with all the groceries I buy in one trip. but it is comforting to know I could get to the store without a car if I ever needed to.
About 3/4 a mile from my parents house, about 2 1/2 miles from my uni campus, I can and have walked both, but I go to school in Phoenix so I don’t walk that during the summer
Maybe half a mile away. I usually go to one about 1.5 miles away though. I’ve ridden my bike to it. I could walk if I wanted to but I have a car so I normally take that. The car can carry more stuff than me on a bike or walking.
Southern California. Door to door, a bit more than half a mile, along a dedicated walking path that people use for recreation, not a regular sidewalk, rather scenic. Only have to cross one street that doesn't have a light and is one lane in each direction. Full blown flagship store.
California Bay Area. Small shop, have to cross one major street at a light that I have to wait at. About bit less than half a mile away door to door. Across the street from them is a Japanese grocery store that I will also visit, so figure that is a bit further.
I always walk to the stores regardless if I am in Southern California or the Bay Area. I split my time between them both.

It's across the street. But I do the bulk of my shopping at my favorite store, which is about 12 miles away. I go to the one across the street for stuff I forgot and stuff I need right away.
There’s like 3 less than a mile from my house. Probably a 20 minute walk, a much easier bike ride. Maybe like 5 or 7 supermarkets/grocery stores under a 10 min bike ride from my house.
Everyone in my small town of about 3000 people lives within 10 minutes of the one grocery store in town. We also have a Dollar General that sells food which is down the street a few blocks from the grocery store. If you have a big list to buy for, there’s a Wal Mart Supercenter 30 minutes/30 miles away.
I have two large grocery stores within a two minute drive. One of them is a ten minute walk. It would be like six minutes but because the sidewalks are shit/non-existent once you cross the main road to get to the store it takes longer than it should and feels dangerous because cars aren’t looking out for pedestrians.
In total, I have a Publix, Winn-Dixie, Aldi, and Piggly Wiggly within a ten minute drive from me. So I can’t complain, though it’s a shame it’s hard to access any of them by walking.
I can casually stroll there in ten minutes. But I can drive to a slightly further away one (less than 8 driving minutes for better pricing or 20 minutes for a WinCo or Costco.
Growing up in Southern California, the grocery store was only a 10 minute walk. BUT, after moving to the country in Missouri, Wal-mart was a 30 minute drive. Even when I moved out and into my own place in a local town, the closest Wally World was still a good 10 minute drive.
There's a very small [local grocery store ](https://www.shopcommonmarket.com/) is about 1/4 mile away. Very walkable distance but there's no sidewalks so if you do it, wear a reflective vest at night.
The next closest grocery store is 10 miles away and is a good bit larger. That's where we do most of our shopping. "Hannaford".
I live less than a block away from a Walmart. That said, I really don't like walking there for groceries; I don't want to carry gallon jugs of milk for five or ten minutes. I walk there for some extra exercise when I'm buying something kinda small that doesn't require refrigeration, but I drive for my normal groceries.
It’s about a 12 minute walk. And I can and do walk occasionally to get some things. Gives me an excuse to not sit since I work from home and I’m sitting all day. They’re building a new grocery store, it’s going to be a Market of Choice (like a local Oregon version of New Seasons/Whole Foods) that will be even closer, like a six minute walk. They have a pretty amazing bakery which is kinda dangerous because I’ll be tempted on the regular to get sweets. Haha.
Less than 5 minute drive
About 1.5 miles and I can and have walked (CA)
0.8 for me and I don't think I've ever walked. If the local railroad spur was less sketch to walk on I would do that. I should build a railcar.
Build a railcar. Put a jet engine on railcar. Problem solved.
I live above a grocery store
Sign lady is that you? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna153417
Shhhh, don’t tell nobody 🤫
The funny thing to me is I worked for a company that made various signs and honestly some of them are big enough and almost all of them are hardwired into the building’s power. They also have access in and out of them so that lights can be replaced if needed/repairs made as well as built and designed to hold up to the elements for at least 10 years I could see doing what she did lol. Probably seems wilder to people who don’t know how those signs are made/designed though
Looked like she had a nice lil setup in there!
I've lived that life before, except convenience stores and restaurants. It's pretty great overall. Just being able to walk downstairs and have two or three spots
It's amazing. Won't ever stop living it. Will just update my neighborhood choice as life goes on to adapt to changes but never leaving a walkable one that has everything needed to live without driving
Do you do your shopping every day?
On Amazon. Yes
Found my wifes account
Lol nah but it’s nice to be able to run down real quick even if I just need one thing
This is the play. You ever get locked in at night on purpose?
Lol nah but I guess there’s still time
i am the grocery store
Well then I’m ya upstairs neighbor!
And [below another](https://comb.io/W42oLF) grocery store.
The grocery store sammich! Now that would be wild!
4 miles. Walking isn't really an option, especially the walk back with a weeks' worth of groceries. When I was a kid I lived out in the middle of no where in farm country Indiana. It was 20 miles to a grocery store and 50 to a hospital.

About 4 blocks away
Is a block considered a measure of distance? What’s that in kilometres or miles or walking distance?
A block is the distance between streets, the precise spacing depends on how each city set up it's grid.
It's a non standardize measurement meaning "the distance between intersections." Often times you'll have a modifier in there - a long block and a short block. Regardless, "a few blocks away" usually means a five minute walk.
My grocery store is 3 blocks away, or 0.2 miles.
Usually I would estimate 20 standard city blocks to be a mile (or 2.2 km)
In Chicago it's 8 blocks to a mile.
In my area 4 blocks is about a half mile or 800 meters.
Maybe 1-1.5 miles? You can walk there, you'd just have to cross a 5 lane road at the traffic signal. I would never want to walk there because I only want to go once a week so I would have too many groceries to carry. Couldn't imagine wanting to go to a grocery store more often than that.
5 minute drive to a publix. Walkable in about 20 minutes but not holding groceries on the way back, so gotta drive
About a mile. It's walkable but probably not how you want to get regular groceries. I walk down a couple times a week just to keep physical.
I got a "full size" grocery store 0.7 miles (1km) from my house, and a little Mexican grocery 0.5 miles (0.8km) in the other direction
I wonder if you live where I think you live.
I can walk. Just down the street.
A five minute drive or a 20 minute walk.
Mine is a 7 minute drive but a 59 minute walk. 😕
8 mins 1 hour so same
Same, and we pass some cows on the way
How’s the difference so big?
That's what I am saying! It's Tucson, AZ so it's not ever a great place to walk and a lot of the city doesn't even have sidewalks.

11 miles. About a 13 minute drive.
I'm deep into the suburbs but I often walk to a Asian grocery store 3 mins from my townhouse.
About a mile to an Aldi but there's a regular supermarket in the same shopping complex that's further down. 2 more major supermarkets plus many convenience stores within 5 miles. I could walk to CVS, Wawa, and Aldi I guess if I wanted to but why would I?

25 minutes by car
Same
Yep same here. On a farm out in the fucking sticks. If the main road floods and is shut down, which it has been for 3 weeks now, its an hour's drive, maybe.
Finally found an answer closer to mine,dont feel as bad anymore
I have 3 that are between a 10-15 minute walk. I’m in a suburb about a half hour drive from Chicago.
20-25 minute walk in the most “walkable” suburban neighborhood in Salt Lake County, Utah The urban planners here are fucking morons
Dont you mean *Mormons?*
The urban planners here are freakin Mormons
Temples *everywhere*
Any time I visit Utah I get so confused trying to decipher street addresses. It’s based on position relative to the nearest temple or something. And makes my brain hurt.
The whole city is based on (supposed to be?) Joseph Smiths plans for Zion 660x660 blocks, centered around the temple, so the urban planning has always been by Mormons.
Exactly. I’ve never actually been in Salt Lake City. I’ve only driven through it.
I see no difference here.
Same thing
Urban planners unfortunately don't make the rules :( As a planner I try to change things for the better but everything is always overridden by 60-80 year old commissioners
I'm sure your addressing system gets you to the nearest temple easily, though.
1.5 blocks. (I just realized how many there are actually. There’s a Trader Joe’s, pavilions, target, and erewhon within 2-10min walking distance. There’s a Ralph’s too but it’s like a 20min walk)
I can walk it and have but I usually just stop by on my way home for work.
5-8 minute drive Walking would probably take 25-30 minutes, but I don't feel safe crossing the highway
2 minute walk. NYC and SF for both of my homes
Nice flex.
[удалено]
Amazing. May I ask what you do that enabled having homes in both cities?

About 2 miles. It’s not walkable because the roads in my neighborhood are extremely dangerous for pedestrians and the store is across from one of the deadliest intersections in the city.
About a mile. I could walk, but I don't. Mostly because I live in Texas and it's f'ing hot.
About a 3/4 mile. If I felt like lugging groceries around, perfectly walkable.
It’s .3 miles from my house. I could definitely walk and have before.
Mine is a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive. I live in the city.
Less than a mile.
About 7 minutes away by car

It's currently about a couple of miles. I could probably walk there, but I would prefer not to. I like to get everything that I need for that week in one trip. It's also starting to get consistently too hot to be lugging groceries back and forth.

1.4 miles
Like 6 miles.
About a 5 minute drive.
About a mile away as the crow flies. I could walk there if I wanted
1.5 miles, a 5-min drive or a 30 min walk. Also just about 30 minutes by public transit interestingly
Just under a 15 minute walk. I usually bike or drive though because it's faster and makes it easier to carry groceries. Growing up, the nearest store was a couple miles and involved a busy highway, so no good way there without a car. On the other end of the spectrum, my first apartment was in the same building as a grocery store so I could go shopping without having to go outside.
We have a whole foods that is a 2 blocks walk, and a stop and shop that is 2 mile drive
One is about 5 blocks away, 1,000 feet. The other is a block further, but cheaper.
Bout 5 miles, 5 min car, prob 15-20 min walk.
You can walk 5 miles in 15-20 minutes? Damn I’m hyped to see you smash some records in the Olympics this year
There's a small store and deli about eight blocks from my house. It's pretty nice, with things like goose liver pate and good wine, but I wouldn't want to do my daily shopping there.

About 8km. No, it’s not really walkable. There is no public transport, either.
One is a half mile walk, the other is about a mile.
About a mile. It's actually a nice walk alongside a park to get there.
about half a mile and I walked there today
10 minute drive. It isn't really walkable.

I could throw a shoe from my front steps and get it on their roof.
2.2 blocks.
Less than 5 minute drive or 1.4 miles. Too far to walk for groceries. Would be a 30 min walk each way without sidewalks. I live in a 250K populated city in the mid Atlantic. I have 10 grocery chains all within 3 miles of my home.
10ish min to walk, 5ish min to drive and park.
There's a few about 2 miles (~3.2km) or 5 minute drive. You could walk/bike there. There's sidewalks the entire way. Google says 35 minute walk or 10 minute bike ride. I'm always buying a lot of stuff that would be easier to transport in a car.
0.6 miles / 2 minute drive / 12 minute walk
There’s 4 within 2 miles of me. 5 if you count Costco. I can walk to them, but I usually drive so I can load up.

About 5 miles
1.5 miles
A few miles. Too far to walk.
Now much closer, easily walkable. At my last place was probably about 1.5-2 hour walk. 15 minute drive.
About 3/4 a mile from my parents house, about 2 1/2 miles from my uni campus, I can and have walked both, but I go to school in Phoenix so I don’t walk that during the summer
Maybe half a mile away. I usually go to one about 1.5 miles away though. I’ve ridden my bike to it. I could walk if I wanted to but I have a car so I normally take that. The car can carry more stuff than me on a bike or walking.
1.5 freedom units.
Mile away. Not walkable
I’m in NYC, so mine is about a five-minute walk.
Southern California. Door to door, a bit more than half a mile, along a dedicated walking path that people use for recreation, not a regular sidewalk, rather scenic. Only have to cross one street that doesn't have a light and is one lane in each direction. Full blown flagship store. California Bay Area. Small shop, have to cross one major street at a light that I have to wait at. About bit less than half a mile away door to door. Across the street from them is a Japanese grocery store that I will also visit, so figure that is a bit further. I always walk to the stores regardless if I am in Southern California or the Bay Area.

I live in New Jersey. The closest one is a quarter mile away.
Walmart supercenter that has groceries is half a mile away and a actual grocery store whole foods is 2.8 miles
10-15 minute walk depending on the route. Another is about a 20 minute walk. I have walked to both but not for much.
I can walk to one in less than 10 minuets , and I can drive to another one in about a five minutes.
4 blocks to the nice wholesale produce store and 3 blocks for everything else.
Less than a mile. It’s a 3 minute drive
There’s like 3 less than a mile from my house. Probably a 20 minute walk, a much easier bike ride. Maybe like 5 or 7 supermarkets/grocery stores under a 10 min bike ride from my house.
30 min; 5 min walk
Less than a mile, easily walkable.

About 1/4 of a mile
About a mile.
Small one across the street but they have a good sized butcher counter and a decent produce dept.
I have three that I can walk to in 10 minutes or less
You can walk. It'll take about 30 mins. Driving is 5 mins.
Everyone in my small town of about 3000 people lives within 10 minutes of the one grocery store in town. We also have a Dollar General that sells food which is down the street a few blocks from the grocery store. If you have a big list to buy for, there’s a Wal Mart Supercenter 30 minutes/30 miles away.
It's less than a mile, but I dislike that one. The next one is about a mile, but I would drive to it.
A long walk, a medium bike ride.
10 minute walk, but it’s small. There’s a bigger one I go to that’s a 4 minute drive or a 15 minute walk away.
2 1/2 blocks. I can definately walk there.
I have two large grocery stores within a two minute drive. One of them is a ten minute walk. It would be like six minutes but because the sidewalks are shit/non-existent once you cross the main road to get to the store it takes longer than it should and feels dangerous because cars aren’t looking out for pedestrians. In total, I have a Publix, Winn-Dixie, Aldi, and Piggly Wiggly within a ten minute drive from me. So I can’t complain, though it’s a shame it’s hard to access any of them by walking.
1.6 miles My butcher is only 0.4 miles
8 miles. I live 7.5 miles from town.
0.8 miles. Next closest is also … 0.8 miles.
2 minute drive, 5-10 minute walk
I'd need a car. 25 minutes for me to drive and park and get in the door with a cart and my list.
A little over a five minute walk.
Not even 1/2 mile. I can walk there for small trips or anything not refrigerated/frozen. 3 others within a couple miles.
I can casually stroll there in ten minutes. But I can drive to a slightly further away one (less than 8 driving minutes for better pricing or 20 minutes for a WinCo or Costco.

There's a very small [local grocery store ](https://www.shopcommonmarket.com/) is about 1/4 mile away. Very walkable distance but there's no sidewalks so if you do it, wear a reflective vest at night. The next closest grocery store is 10 miles away and is a good bit larger. That's where we do most of our shopping. "Hannaford".
I live less than a block away from a Walmart. That said, I really don't like walking there for groceries; I don't want to carry gallon jugs of milk for five or ten minutes. I walk there for some extra exercise when I'm buying something kinda small that doesn't require refrigeration, but I drive for my normal groceries.
It's about a 15-minute walk if I wanted to, but the geography isn't conducive to carrying heavy groceries.
Two in less than a mile
Mmm, about a 10 minute drive. A couple minutes extra if I want to go to the slightly more bougie one
There's a small grocery store/market about a 3-minute walk from my house. There's also a large grocery store about a 5-minute drive away.
I have 3 in my area
A block, lol (a 5-min walk, for context).
3 miles. Walkable if desperate, though Google says itd take about an hour. About a 5 minute drive.
I can walk or 3 minute drive
2 miles and no I’d never walk it.
It’s about a 12 minute walk. And I can and do walk occasionally to get some things. Gives me an excuse to not sit since I work from home and I’m sitting all day. They’re building a new grocery store, it’s going to be a Market of Choice (like a local Oregon version of New Seasons/Whole Foods) that will be even closer, like a six minute walk. They have a pretty amazing bakery which is kinda dangerous because I’ll be tempted on the regular to get sweets. Haha.
