And it lists "AOL Moviephone" as a movie theater for Logan Circle. (Along with all of the stage theaters in the area.) And it lists lots of little convenience stores that left the area several years ago. Which isn't to say that Logan Circle isn't a walker's paradise -- but that site's reliance on outdated info is annoying.

They seem to be a little bit confused about what constitutes a grocery store. High Noon is not a grocery store, nor is the corporate HQ of Whole Foods, both of whih are apparently in my neighborhood but don't help me a lot when looking for eggs or milk...

Yeah, the scoring seems to be less than perfect. My place in Arlington (10 walking minutes from the Rosslyn Metro and the Courthouse restaurants and stores) got a score of 63. Then I checked it against my friends' place who live in Manassas in the middle of suburban gas station, walmart, 8 lane highway hell... they got 70!!

See, the problem with Dupont is that there's nothing worth walking to. Unless you count the P Street Bridge where you can watch guy's banging eachother in the woods every Saturday night like clockwork. You can set yr watch to that s**t. From The Fireplace to the Black Forest in 10 minits flat.
