You get there by.....

I've noticed a consistent way of giving directions here in the South. It's not so easy to follow if you haven't been born and never left. Directions commonly sound something like this. "Oh, it's easy, you take a left where Hawkin's grocery used to be and then a left where the old Chevrolet dealership used to be and it is right behind what used to be Picken's butcher shop." Now how would I know any of this? It's always amusing and I guess that I already know where some businesses used to be.....although I never have had any experience with them.
