In reply to A Purple Life. I love the idea of walking every street in a city. That would take some serious time but I imagine it would be a great way to find some neat places. Cheers to finding new places :)

In reply to Simple Money Man. I like driving around during lunch occasionally too, it's an easy way to explore some nearby places I've never been before. It's cool to hear that you do the same :)

In reply to RE@54. That's awesome to hear! And if you're ever in Ohio you'll have to shoot me a message so we can play some ball!

In reply to Erik. It was probably the best movie I've seen all year, I highly recommend it.

Nice. How was the movie “Solo”? DO you recommend it?

That’s a super cool challenge Zach! Great job stepping out of your routine. Challenge accepted over here! If I can count yesterday I already have 1 new place in the bag despite it being in our neighborhood, where we’ve lived for 3+ years. Exploring a city in this adventurous fashion is on my list of how to approach retirement actually, but with less structure than you present above. I need to add more structure to it! One goal I have before we start retirement is to walk every street in Seattle. Someone did this in Manhattan while I was living there and I remember being so inspired. I’m going to start mapping out how I can do that as well in the next few years. It’s crazy what you can find when you get off your beaten path. Thank you for the inspiration as always!

I do this too from time to time (i.e., take a different route to work or drive around during lunch). There are so many places just locally that I learned about and can now appreciate. The adventure continues 🙂

In our area out west, we love driving around the town. We have found more places by just driving around. Coworkers and friends say why were you in that neighborhood, when you live over in that neighborhood. Because I want to explore the town. Funny thing about libraries, whenever we visit other states and cities, we check out the libraries. If you ask nicely and explain that you don’t live there, but would like use the computer for internet, they will let you. Granted nowadays the phones are probably faster.
Too bad we don’t live nearby, I would invite you to bball on Saturdays over here. Granted we are a bit older and slower, but still hoop. 30-62 yo. Ha ha.
