Houston is One Of The Most Walkable city in the U.S. (See What H-Town Neighborhood Came In At #8)

This is not too surprising to me but what did shock me was to see #8 Fourth Ward, urban neighborhoods are not usually recognize for that type of honer. That neighborhood is sentimental to me because I kinda grew up there, my father The Late Great Rev R L Washington Sr. pastor at the Macedonia MBC in Forth Ward AKA (Freedom Town) for 40 years so I have watch that neighborhood grow. I am so glad that they list it by it’s real name and not by the name that they are trying to brand (Mid Town) I am a runner and a walker so I want to encourage everyone since we have such great trails to get out and get active.
