Mine kind of looked like castles .... or prisons ...
Damn thing is, where I grew up was kind of ORGANICALLY a 15 minute arrangement, because the city grew up as a bunch of neighbourhoods that were built around factories, which also had neighbourhood markets, pharmacies, schools, etc. I think we only drove to a supermarket maybe once a month when I was a kid, and downtown (itself a 20 minute walk) was where the Kresge's and other stores were until they built the fucking mall on what was at the time the edge of town.
Commercial streets were always close by, and the concept of an "industrial park" was foreign to me until I moved away ...
It was my job to do the gofering from the time I was old enough to cross the street by myself/take myself to school. I walked there and back, and had to come home for lunch, too.
And the bus was once useful, but they cut service every time they raised the damn fares ...
