Okay...so take the boulvard down to the expressway and go over the twin bridges to the Schuylkill then take the Schuylkill up past the Conshy Curve up to the where it meets the turnpike at the mall. Then take the blue route south down to the airport and then back up 95 past Vine Street up to the Northeast

And we wonder why tourists get lost when they ask for directions...they may even get sent on a giant loop without knowing it!

or

Take Route 1 south and exit at I-76 west to I-476 south to I-95 north passing I-676 up to 63 west.

Same thing.

It's a Buffalo thing. People in Rochester or Manhattan don't talk like that. In just three short years of law school I picked that up.

Zur--I say Front "at" Girard. That's the difference. I have the order right--just not the conjunction.

It's like calling 6th, "Avenue of the Americas"

It's like calling Delaware Avenue "Columbus Boulevard."

my nine year old niece laughed at me for directing a cab to drop us off at "the corner of blank and blank" instead of just the numbers.
