Gernot WagnerWhen you're trying to take the kids to Vienna on the DC Metro and you realize it's just another suburban wasteland.
How did we get urban planning so wrong for so long?
Yes! And Urban Design is intimately linked with both exercise + social life!
"Cities are built around plazas where friends, family and co-workers sit, eat, drink and talk. That turns out to be good for you even if you sip vermouth and eat crisps at noon. Reams of research show that social contact is critical for physical and psychological well-being."
Andrew Jennings@gwagner anyone who has observed the degree of stress in southern Europe (eg. Shut for lunch from 12-3) knows that diet and exercise is not the real story here

PensionDan@gwagner At least there's the Metro. One of my long jogs is to take the Metro to Vienna, go thru Nottoway Park to Tapawingo to the W&OD trail. Then, back to the Custis Trail & DC.
