Okay, so today would be our first full day of not owning a car. It isn't actually all that different from most other weekdays, since we have'nt really been driving much. One thing that's different is that we walked to the laundromat instead of just driving. It's only a block away, but in the past it was just easier to load up beep with the laundry. Oh, and then I wouldn't really need to help Carla with it. (we do have a laundry room in our apartment, but it's usually full.)
We also walked over to the grocery store while the clothes were in the wash. This is a good thing to learn how to do; planning ahead.
Yeah, we live close to a few grocery stores, coffee shops, laundromat, restaurants, library, etc.. We already walk to most of them, and bike to any that are farther. It's not like we woke up one day and said "let's sell our car". We've been planning to do this for awhile and to prepare ourselves we have limited our use of the car, and moved to somewhere that is close to both of our jobs.
Not saying it's impossible to go carless in the suburbs or anything, just a little farther to walk to places. Walking isn't all that bad.
