There are many bars and restaurants around Comerica Park and FoxTown. Type in 2211 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201 (Fox Theater). It says the nearest restaurant is over 1/2 mile away and the nearest entertainment is Greektown Casino. So many restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues do not show up. Walk score of 12? This program is still way off the mark. Great concept, but much improvement needed.

My neighborhood’s score dropped quite a bit. Several grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops are missing, and the “Add a Place” option didn’t work. I sent them an email about it, hopefully the “Add a Place” link will be working soon.Still, much cooler than the original version!
