"The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best. A horse gives but a kind of half exercise, and a carriage is no better than a cradle."
"No one knows, till he tries, how easily a habit of walking is acquired."
- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Thomas Mann Randolph Jr.
August 27, 1786
Car could easily replaced carriage today. A car is, therefore, no better than a cradle.
But, in certain areas in Nashville, the impediments to walking are not insignificant.
