Lost... With A Map!

I don't drive that often now that I live in New York, but every once in a while you want to take a little jaunt down to the local grocery store, or to the movies, like I did today. I came to realize why so many people don't own cars in the city...

On my way home today, I thought I would take just take the next street over to the main road that got me to the movies. Oh no, not so simple. Before long, I ended up on the a highway on my way to Queens, which is almost 10 miles from where I needed to be in the first place! Ugh! And when I finally DID reach a landmark I knew and made it home, it was ONE HOUR later.

And I only live 5 minutes away from the movie theatre.

Maybe it's me. I don't know. But every time I've driven in Brooklyn, it's taken me twice as long to find my way home as it did when I got there in the first place. You think that you take a few adjacent streets to get back and the next thing you know you're so far off from the path you took in the first place, you might as well have taken a bus.

Maybe I will.
