Walkability Workshop
So, I walked past the Mountain View Community Center this morning on my way to pick up kitty litter at Walgreen's, and there were signs declaring the "Walkability Workshop (Walk this Way)."
Naturally I wondered what in the world a walkability workshop was. Were they teaching people how to walk? Generally that comes before learning how to read so you can understand signs . . .
On the way back from Walgreen's and past the Community Center again, there was a large group of walkers on the sidewalk with me. I heard one of them say to someone in a car who was pulling into a driveway "We're trying to get people out of their cars!" They were probably participating in the workshop. I wondered why they didn't say anything to me - I was already out there walking!
Anyway, I just Googled the thing and this explains it:
