I experienced that first hand. Colleagues going to their cars to drive 200m down the road to park again and then walk 100m back on themselves to a deli.
It’s baffling how something as simple as a corner shop that can be walked to is a novelty yet here in Europe, it’s the norm everywhere.
The real magic is I can walk to several open bodegas almost any time of day or night.
Just like a corner store!
It depends where you live. Most places in the US you can’t (safely) walk to anywhere, and many places aren’t open 24/7.
A bodega is a gas station without the gas
So a corner store?
Or even a bodega
You’re right, but that’s equivalent to saying that most places don’t have corner stores. It being walkable is a prerequisite.
