POST #6--DIRECTIONS

Where is the market?
It's three blocks ahead and one block to the left.
He says it's three blocks to the right and then one block north.
Thank you very much.
So which way is north?
I don't know, we better ask somebody else.
Do you think they would have a map at the stationery store?
Do you think they would have a map at the pharmacy?
Do you think they would have a map at the jewelry shop?
Do you think they would have a map at the newspaper stand?
Do you think they would have a map at the shoeshine station?

So from what I can tell, we're on the corner of "Shoe Repair" and "Slow School." Is that on the map?
Wait a minute, I think the name of the street is Bakery.

He's telling us to go to the end of "Vote for Change" street and then turn left.

OK, we're at the corner of "One Way" and "One Way." They sure do have a weird street system here.

Well, it's obviously the corner of "One Way Avenue" and "One Way Street." You just have to be logical and figure it out. There's a reason for everything.

Well now we're at the corner of "One Way" and "Watch Repair." Can't you find it on the map? You're always saying how good you are at maps.
