Springfield 'Car-Dependent,' Website Says

When someone asks how walkable your neighborhood is, more than likely you don't respond, "Eh ... 65? Maybe 70?"

If sites like WalkScore.com keep gaining popularity, though, perhaps you will.

Taking into account a location's proximity to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, parks, schools, theaters and more, the website assigns each a score on a scale of 0 to 100.
