How the route is built
Shops within about a quarter mile of the next one count as one run, walked from the end nearest downtown. Long runs are cut into legs of ten stops or fewer. Distances are straight lines with a sidewalk allowance, so treat the minutes as a floor. Opening hours are whatever OpenStreetMap has on record: check the smaller stores before you set out.
