Its amazing how much different the walk is than the drive. As I drive the road to downtown, it feels really far away (which it is when you're sitting in traffic and looking for a parking spot) When I walk it, I'm always surprised at how short the distance actually is. I often discover some public fruit trees where I can grab free lemons or avocados or something, I get a feel for the town by reading the fliers posted on the poles, and stop into stores that I never would have gone into if I wasn't walking by. I agree, walking in your hometown is a GREAT way to get to know it.
