London - that's that big city down south, right?

I have always been very good at coming to a new place, forming a map in my head and filling in. But I've been to a lot of places, so it would be natural. Now people have GPS, but I still do the same thing.

I enjoy that too. Normally I view the directions in Google Maps (just the overview of the route) so I have my bearings before any drive. The one city I had an issue with this was Rome (well, this was in 2005 before I had a smart phone or GPS). Never could get my bearings, it was weird.

Boston can be like that too, but I did not drive there very much. One night I met Quirt and Phibes at a pub for a few. It was raining when we left so Phibes was kind enough to give me a ride back to my hotel. It was pretty comical as he didn't know this particular part of downtown and I didn't know it as well as I thought.

Few, if any, Boston drivers will reference North, South, East, West. It just doesn't work that way there.

You could place me in any part of Boston and guarantee that I’d be hopelessly lost before I’d driven a couple of blocks. The city’s roads are nonsensical, and I have no sense of direction whatsoever.

For me it was Louisville.
