Lame. I think the closest 24 hour convenience store (which is right near a mcdonalds and an a&w) is probably about a kilometer away (1 km= 0.62 mi), maybe a bit longer than that, but not a mile. My girlfriend's parents place is across town though, and we would usually meet about halfway (well, closer to her place, but it's the best meeting ground) when we'd walk and it's about 2 miles (one direction), so I'm used to walking that sort of distance fairly regularly (a bit less in the last couple years, because she's been in Barrie a lot, and Barrie's about 50 km away... not something I'd walk, lol.) And one of my friend's places is about 2 miles away (maybe a bit closer, since it's uphill, and it takes me about 30 minutes [sober] to walk it), but he used to live somewhere between 3 and 4 miles away, and I made that walk back home a lot.
