Wasting a day in Phoenixville
I went up to Phoenixville and saw my brother’s apartment for the first time. The area’s nice and quiet, and would be ideal for a guy like me to live in. Unfortunately, the closest bus stop to his apartment is a good twenty-minute walk away, so I’d have a hard time getting to work without a bike. Luckily, there are a good number of quality stores in the vicinity (Giant, KFC, Rite-Aid, etc.), so at least I don’t have to go far to shop if I need food.
I’ll have to look into getting a place of my own soon…somewhere within reach of SEPTA. My brother suggested Media or Ardmore, because I’d be able to get around quite easily with my, um…situation. And indeed, WalkScore.com agrees…Ardmore, PA has a score of 91 (out of a possible 100), while Media, PA has an 83, meaning they’re very “walkable” neighborhoods. If it helps me get to and from work faster than from where I am, then I’m all for it.
