4. Speaking of boulevards
If someone says your destination is on University Boulevard, insist on more information. University Boulevard has a “North,” a “South” and a “West.” There is no such thing as “University Boulevard East.” Well, actually there is, but you’d have to be in places like Silver Spring, Md., or Tuscaloosa, Ala. If neither was your destination, a serious wrong turn has been made.
