Do people on the West Coast spend too much time in their cars?
I just picked up my first copy of the 'Go Pages.' What is that? you may ask. Yellow Pages for your car. Not an extra copy for your car, a book specifically published to be used in your car.

2. I don't know about California
They are being given out at gas stations here, in Vancouver (BC). The books contain regular yellow pages info, an extensive map section and coupons.

4. Well, Vancouver has the second highest number of cars per-capita
Next to LA....considering how dense Vancouver is that's pretty telling

9. I drive from Montlake to downtown Bellevue 4 days/week
Not too bad, really, it's only 8 miles each way. Eight horrible, grueling miles, but... :hi:

8. Yes, we do.
We have those "go pages" here in Arizona. I wish I could walk more from place to place but things are way too spread out and it is too damn hot most of the year.

I've only visited NYC a couple of times but I loved how I could walk everywhere! It's so healthy.
