I'm wondering why you would choose to include Santa Monica Blvd. instead of Wilshire or even Sunset.

Denver??? Sunbelt?? Yea didn't they just have a snowstorm there during the Broncos/ Patriots game??? The whole country saw those "sunbelt" conditions. I know some parts of the South get snow too, but we only get it once in a while and not this early in the year. It can snow in Denver a good part of the year. Denver is beautiful and its growing but its not the Sunbelt.

I voted other Don't forget Collins Avenue in Miami Beach (or by extension, A1A throughout the entire east coast of Florida). Much of it is car-centric, but there are some walkable sections. From Driftwood Surf Shop and Sandy Bottoms Beach Bar & Grill at Fernandina Beach, over a bridge, a couple state parks, a short ferry across the St. John's River, then towards Jacksonville Beach where you'll find the first of many little walkable sections with bars, restaurants, a pier, and some shops, to one of the oldest cities in North America, to some rather quiet development with a monument, down to Daytona, past the Space Coast, Treasure Coast, the oceanfront mansions of northern Palm Beach county, followed by the long parade of condos, resorts, and cultural attractions from Palm Beach down to Miami Beach.

Don't think this is true at all.

Just polled my office. Nobody knew.
