That Time This Texan Spotted a Yellow Corvette at a Car Wash
When I look out my office window, I see mostly parking lot and a nondescript car wash. The kind of car wash where you pull into a bay, drop in a few quarters, and hose down the wheels yourself. Many times over the past few years I have observed the comings and goings at this car wash. When I'm gazing out the window, it's certainly more interesting than staring at the parking lot pavement.

2 of the Most Walkable U.S. Cities are in Texas
Most people wouldn’t associate Texas with walkable cities and for the most part, they would be right. Most major cities in the Lone Star State are spread out, making it hard to get by without owning a vehicle. Sure, there are areas within our cities that are walkable like most downtowns, but overall, they’re not very walkable.
