Robyn, re: the directions thing

I think us east-coasters, especially those of us from near the old cities, give directions by landmarks because, well, with all those twisty turn city streets you can never be sure if you're going north, south, east or west!

My bf is from Indiana. He's used to going 'ok so I need to end up North of here. So I'll take this road North and it'll take me there'. Whereas, around here a N-S road may at any point in time turn into a W-E road, take you an infinitely long time to get you anywhere (but sure does look pretty doing so), or turn into another road completely! There's a few roads near where my parents live that have at least 3 names. When he first came here, it sure got him confused trying to get somewhere!
