I don't know my way around my own town. How embarrassing.

[billyskank]

Driving home from dancing tonight, I went to turn left to go over the river but the road was blocked with signs saying the road ahead was closed.

This really flummoxed me. It took me about 20 minutes to find another route. :blush:

1. Dude. I feel your pain. I still can't find my way around

Richmond and I've lived here for 18 years.

NYC? No problem. Boston? Same. Chicago, San Fran, Houston. No brainers.

Richmond in podunkville VA? Killer. Absolutely Killer. A + B does not equal C here. At all.

[billyskank]

2. It's the freaking one-way streets that get you here.

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. OMG! Here, too!!!!

And most of the time Mapquest doesn't account for them. The one ways and the construction that is going on. Ugh.

17. That's the way it is in Virginia!

I lived in DC for 23 years, and now in MD; I avoid driving in VA like the plague!

6. You were also on the wrong side of the road.

And your steering wheel and controls are on the wrong side of the car.

:P

[billyskank]

7. I drive on whichever side of the road I like.

:P

9. Yea, but don't you live in London?

I mean, it's not like you got lost in Wokingham or anything. It's London for christ's sake!

[billyskank]

10. Nope, Bedford.

It's about an hour north of London.

[SKKY]

11. Oh. Ok, well then, return to your embarrassment.

:hi:

[Skittles]

12. you want I should kick your direction-impaired ass, billyskank?

yes INDEED

[ThomCat]

13. If you have to take the scenic route a few more times

I imagine you'll be an expert at finding your way around. :)

Was dancing fun?

[Bullwinkle925]

14. did you stop anywhere to purchase bread?

[tjwmason]

15. Didn't they have diversion signs

With those odd black triangles or circles to show one the way around?

16. :nodding:

My city is famous for being impossible to navigate. Fairly good-sized city, about 70,000 residents but I don't even need 1 hand to count how many roads go all the way from one side of town to the other.
