The name "5 Blocks Out" stems from the concept that there is a lot of good stuff to be discovered within a five block radius of any point in an urban neighbourhood, be it a park, cheese shop, library, theatre, art gallery, or something completely different. 5 Blocks Out is about sharing, discovering, and celebrating all the things that make a neighbourhood great.
5 Blocks Out is community-driven: the information you'll find here is contributed by our site members. The more people contribute, the better it gets.
We're focusing in particular on walkability and on places that are well-loved ('local heroes'), environmentally conscious ('green'), and/or family-friendly.
