Main street to walk in your city?
I am reading a book written by an author who walked the entire length
of Broad St in Philadelphia, and he comments on what he finds along the way. I remember someone wrote a book about his walk along the entire length of Broadway in New York City. I live in Pittsburgh, and figure that Forbes Ave would be a good street to walk the length, and the walk would take me through representative sections of Pittsburgh. There are a couple of other streets which might fit the bill also. Market St in San Francisco, and Broadway in Oakland, CA would seem to also fit the bill. El Camino Real (not 101) would work for the Pennisula. Do readers have suggestions for their cities? In Cleveland my choice would probably be Euclid. Tom |

My office is on North Broad Street and I have walked the six miles from my office down to the stadium area several times. Its a nice walk. I really have no desire to walk in the opposite direction though. |

Tom Trenton, New Jersey Walk down West State Street to see where the biggest crooks in the Western Hemisphere do their best work. Best to wear hip waders as the area oozes with sleaze and slime. Walk down Calhoun Street to see druggies, hos and drive-bys. Stay away from the side streets as they are not as safe as the main drag. |

It's in the process of being transformed, after years of putting up skyscrapers. Pretty soon you'll be able to walk the entire thing with storefronts, cafes, and parks. |

But in my "city" it would be Overall Drive. It's the one beside the creek in the pic at the bottom. It's also where I live, so I'm biased. http://loraltraveloz.blogspot.com/20...ottsville.html A stroll doesn't take all day either:-) Cheers, Alan, Australia -- http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Slovenia |

I walked from Mountain View to San Francisco on El Camino Real a few years ago. That's about a 40 mile walk, so the family and I spent the night along the way, and then took the train back. It was an interesting experience, but then I live here. I've walked most (possibly all) of El Camino between here and San Jose, but not at one time. And I've walked most of Market Street too. It's something to do if you like to walk. I've forgotten the stats the family was keeping, but if I recall correctly, Jack in the Box edged out Starbucks as the most-represented business on El Camino Real in this area. |

Main street to walk in your city?
Key West, Florida
Duval St. Simonton St. Fleming St. Truman St. The cool thing about Duval Street is you can walk from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in 20 minutes or so. Truman St. goes through many different changes. My favorite is the corner of Margaret and Truman where sits the Margaret Truman Laundromat. Further up past churches and small book shops are go go bars and tattoo parlors. Beyond Bertha St. are modest cinder block houses with car ports. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
