This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Um, duh? Where I live now, I have to drive about 30 minutes (with interstate) to have good grocery selection and another 10 or so for better options. Restaurants as well. Visiting Chicago, New York, LBI, even areas in Little Rock, Dallas, etc are infinitely more walkable and wouldn't you know it, my average steps were far higher in those cities.
