Say what?

Well, in Boston, sometimes it takes a long time to get there. I found a great story on Boston.com that was adapted from the original Cartogrammar.com blog post titled: “You can’t get there from here“.

“…absurdly simple trips like driving across a street or around the corner can require a convoluted route and an intimate knowledge of the local streets.”

Woodruff, A. (2009, December 22). “You can’t get there from here“. Retrieved on January 29, 2010 from Cartogrammar Web site: http://www.cartogrammar.com/blog/you-cant-get-there-from-here/

It's the simple trips...

The Boston.com article identifies each of the trips. I know that I’ve personally driven the first one, and I think the last one.
