In 1993 I made my first (and only) cross country driving trip. First leg was NYC to DC. Having a guest with me from Europe, I thought it would be nice to stop in Philadelphia to visit a few of the National Founding Fathers Monuments. Being clueless about the East Coast generally, I just took a random exit west when we started seeing Philadelphia exits.
We never saw a thing in Philadelphia. After a couple of blocks the mistake was obvious. U turn and got the hell out of Dodge. Clearly, this thread does not address a new problem.
Speaking of Dodge, a couple of days later, it was mildly disappointing. Stockyards outnumbered motels, there was not a sidewalk in sight, and the motel A.C sounded like a 747. All night.
Yikes!
Maybe a new idea for Google Maps or Map Quest?
Color-coded areas indicating their level of safety....
Uh, NO....that’s racist!
