Mark's Story - The Freedom of Walking

[Story collected at the TMP Launch event.]

"I’ve lived in Boulder for 10 years overall – I grew up here as a kid and moved back four years ago. I’ve never owned a car. I grew up walking to my elementary school, which was a block away. Then, I moved to a really auto-centric town in North Carolina and suddenly, at 11 years old, all of my freedom was gone. Coming back to Boulder, I can live the life I was shaped by – walking! It’s never a bad time to walk. I live in the Goss Grove neighborhood, so I can get to just about anything within walking distance. If I can’t walk there, I can certainly take the bus or ride my bike."
