Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- East Village) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in East Village. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.5664, Longitude: -121.0788       In this case, the coordinates for East Village have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
