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

[Varwnos]

A couple of local landmarks:

-the music hall



-the prefecture building



Those are reachable in a couple of minutes on foot. However if i take the bus i can be here, in around 15 min:

Literally, 2 minutes, at a normal pace? Nothing but other houses - hey this is suburbia (sort of) and theres a big hill in the way. Add another minute or two though, at a slightly faster clip and youve got

A certified Halal (IIRC) Afghan restaurant.
A Korean bakery/coffee shop.
A Japanese/Korean sushi/steak place.
A store that sells gifts and knicknacks based on Korean/Japanese teenage pop culture -POTM loves it, I call it "the Hello Kitty store"
A korean store that sells some specialized sauna fixtures, POTM wanted to browse, they looked at us funny and we left.
A Korean Christian bookstore
At least one other Korean restaurant
A Popeyes fried chicken place.

Turn the other direction at the main drag, and theres a public library.

Theres a busstop served both by local buses, and by express buses to the Pentagon.

A creek
My neighbors
A ton of trees
3 Squirrels that I know of, since my dog has waged war on them
My mailbox
A little lake

... that's about it

If you extended it to 10 minute walk!

Another little lake
More houses
A lot more trees
and probably a few more squirrels, a racoon, and a few white tail deer

Hmm, having just moved, time to update this...

Within a two minute walk of my house is...

The road.
Our mailbox.
A few neighbors.
The forest.

Given ten minutes... some more houses and forest. Maybe - MAYBE - the town offices (1 mile). But I think you'd at least have to jog to make it there in 10 minutes.

In fairness, shes never bought any of the (abundant) hello kitty merchandise, mostly just origami stuff.

I'm pretty sure I know [generally] where you live now

I used to drive past a lot of that stuff on the way to school.

I went out and measured two minutes brisk walk and wrote down the business within range. There were more than I had expected.

I don't think this thread was meant literally. I listed the things that are within short distance. Although mentioning Charlton and Millwall training grounds would make it very easy to place where I live, although not my precise location
