What's within a 2 minute walk of your house?

[red_jon]

I was thinking about how much stuff is near to me... (less than 120 seconds walk away)

- Surf shop
- 3 pubs
- A 24hr Halal food store (I live in the Asian section of town)
- A few takeout places
- A few restaurants (British, Thai, Indian)
- A church
- 2 sandwich shops
- A newsagent
- A charity shop
- Another grocery store
- About 5 solicitors offices
- Accountancy firm
- A Pizza Hut
- A DVD store
edit: - A vegetarian restaurant/ Asian sweet shop

and best of all

- A MASONIC LODGE (at the end of the street). They even have stained glass pentagrams on their windows


I think there's more businesses, but not bad considering I don't live in the city centre (though I do live near it)

More houses...if you extend by a few minutes and give me a chance to get to the end of the road it may get a bit more interesting
