At that time we lived in West Los Angeles and there was bus transportation for most places we needed to go. I bought one of those little grocery carts and walked three blocks and back when I needed to go to the market. For recreation we walked to the second hand furniture store to browse. It was just a few blocks away, as was our favorite pizza place. It was only tough when we wanted to visit our parents. It took several transfers to get to them. They usually brought us back home. The bus took 2 1/2 hours to get to my parents.The return trip by car was under an hour unless traffic was terrible.<br /><br /> When I was a child I walked everywhere, since we lived near the center of our small town. I could walk to any business, to church, to school, and to the library. Most everyday trips were made on foot until my second year of marriage.
