Walk Score
I found this site from one of my daily email digests and thought it was kinda fun... walkscore.com Basically you enter in your address and it calculates a "walk score" based on how close you are to various amenities and business in your area. Obviously, this site is designed more for the urban dweller than the suburbanite, and I think it's more for checking out areas before you move, but it's still a fun little gadget for a 2 minute diversion.
Incidentally, my address of 135 Guernsey comes up with a walk score of 91! Beat that, suburbia!

I believe that walk score is cool, but nowadays more and more people prefer to drive cars. Homes are often located in an area where some establishments are easier to get to by car than on foot. I've recently found a type of service on drivescore.fizber.com which is called Drive Score. It shows a map of what establishments are in your neighborhood and calculates a Drive Score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance. It doesn’t mean that drive score is better than walk score – they are equal and both necessary in the modern world!
