Three papercuts



It was one of those days when you have to get to Howe so you walk east down West Georgia, thinking that since it goes east-west and Howe goes north-south and you're walking in the right direction you'll eventually run into it.

It also happened to be one of those days when you forget that though most of the downtown core happens to be laid out in a grid, some of it isn't and you suddenly lose sight of Dunsmuir, which was the other street you were looking for because it just arbitrarily turns into Melville.

All this makes you not notice that you just crossed Howe and are now passing Thurlowe and now Bute.

Shit.

At least you now know where Alberni is in relation to practically every other street in the city.
