Just an fyi for all you slum-dogs out there.
From the intersection of State Road & Portage Trail to the intersection of State Road & Chestnut Boulevard it is, by Map Quest reckoning, a distance of 1.34 miles with a travel time of 3 minutes. If you or your "down-scale" friends should decide to take this route while slumming in the Falls, you'll pass the following amenities:
One ACME GROCERY/DRUG STORE
One WALGREENS DRUG/GROCERY STORE
One CVS DRUG/GROCERY STORE
From the intersection of State Road & Portage Trail to the intersection of Graham Road & Hudson Drive it is, by Map Quest reckoning, a distance of 2.17 miles with a travel time of 4 minutes. If you or your "down-scale" friends should decide to take this route while slumming in the Falls, you'll pass the following amenities:
One MARC'S DEPARTMENT/GROCERY/DRUG STORE
One GIANT EAGLE GROCERY/DRUG STORE
One relocated BOOTLEGGER STATE LIQUOR STORE
One KRIEGER'S FRESH PRODUCE MARKET
One CVS DRUG STORE-CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION
One TOPS GROCERY STORE...OOPS! My mistake; they left town a few years ago for some unknown reason.
One WALMART DEPARTMENT/GROCERY/DRUG STORE
From the intersection of State Road & Portage Trail to the intersection of Portage Trail & Seventh Street it is, by Map Quest reckoning, a distance of 1.1 miles with a travel time of 2 minutes. If you or your "down-scale" friends should decide to take this route while slumming in the Falls, you'll pass the following amenity: A DISCOUNT DRUG MART DRUG/Grocery STORE.
Now, if you or your "down-scale" friends had an urge to become globe trotters, even to the point of traveling between the 44223 Zip Code and the 44221 Zip Code, you just might decide to spend the 6 minutes it would take you to travel from the intersection of State Road & Portage Trail to the ACME GROCERY/DRUG STORE located on Bailey Road! Map Quest rates such a monumental quest as covering 6 miles and requiring all of 6 minutes to accomplish!
Oh, well, it's money well spent, I guess. If the almighty "up-scale" folk have some new nirvana to shop at, perhaps the current amenities listed above will be a tad less crowded when I and my "friends-in-low-places" go to shop.
