Car-Free in Wisconsin

More car-free folks like me. That is the reason for visiting the Arlington website and reading about all that you are doing to improve yourselfs and community. It's true -- life is better when you don't own a car.

I have been living car-free with my wife and three children in Wisconsin for almost five years. If we can do it in Wisconsin, you can do it in Virginia!

Some think this is made more difficult with kids, but our children are more motivation and inspiration to keep going! They are more confident and independent than their peers and frankly, don't tire as easily.

I wish you great success with this campaign and hope you inspire many more people to challenge themselves to live more and drive less!

    We love this book! Chris Balish provides readers with practical, every-day tips on how to go car-lite or even car-free. We wish we'd written this book ourselves, but it somehow rings much more true coming from this self-described "mainstream" guy. NOW AVAILABLE in a Special Arlington, VA Edition! (*****)
