Activity #1: I looked for an apartment that my daughter could possibly move into. I know she would like the Rice Village area and she eventually would like to have a dog. I was able to limit my search on Apartments.com to that area, one bedroom, a/c, washer & dryer, internet connection, and small dogs within a certain price range. I found a couple that looked good and I was able to save them to my favorites. I prefer the regular map to the satellite or hybrid. I'm just used to them and can visualize my route better. Next step: pack her bags!
Activity#2: Since we are moving after we retire, we already have a new location in mind. I tried Discover Our Town.com first but the list of cities didn't include Marble Falls. The closest I could get was Austin. So I tried WalkScore.com. When I put in our street address it didn't work, but when I just entered "Marble Falls" it came up with a really nice map with cute little icons indicating restaurants, schools, shopping, pharmacies, and the library. On the left hand side is a column that lists the businesses and how far they are from the center of town. If it had been able to locate our house, I guess the distances would have been from our house. Anyway, I was able to get an idea of the local businesses in the neighborhood where we'll be moving.
