Walkability is what I miss most about living in Chicago. We now live in a small suburb outside KCMO. We moved here for our kids to be closer to grandparents and outside more by playing in the backyard. And while we can now play and garden in our own yard we miss all the movement and outdoor time provided by walking everywhere every day. The compromise was worth it, but nearly 5 years later I still miss walking everywhere.
I am going to Fort Worth for work in May, and now you have me convinced that I should add on some vacation time to explore Georgetown and Austin. Thanks for re-sharing the thorough tribute to Georgetown. I come from a small town and have lived in various sizes of cities/towns from NYC to suburbia, and love exploring the charm of places beyond the most-traveled. It also reminded me how much I treasure my own little piece of the world here in Akron, Ohio.

I grew up in Georgetown, and reading the link to your art of simple post made me homesick!
