Do you have an internal compass or are you like me?

Just got back from tending my daughter's critters. I always drive merrily and blissfully along until I see Allsup's on the corner and that's where I turn. (Street names - Pah!)

Only this time I did not see Allsup's on the corner. As a recovering alcoholic I resolutely ignore the liquor store on the opposite corner.

Whut?

I turned around and drove back. I'm telling you somebody had stolen the Allsup's convenience store and 12-pump gas station. Their sign was not there.

Then some little brain synapse fired and I remembered reading that Allsup's 304 stores had changed hands...and I realized the store was still there ... it's just not Allsup's anymore.

That was a Twilight Zone minute...

@Mamapolo2016 I was in rural Ireland once and asked for directions and the guy gave me directions based on things that used to be there.

Nor helpful. Lol
People do that all the time - turn where the Hill's used to be...????

My dad called that "There's a lady on the corner with an umbrella" directions.@JoeyFoxx

@JoeyFoxx Directions in rural Ireland often start with " if I were you I wouldn't start from here".
@Tuscan 😂 Or the famous "You can't get there from here."
