I remember when I rented out on Contant Point a few years back the rental agency said "take a right at the basketball courts... I had no idea.

So, what are the necessary landmarks you need in your mental GPS unit?

I'll start

- Basketball Courts
- Salt Pond Parking Lot
- Smoothie Truck

My favorites are always the "used to be's." "Take a left where the _______ used to be." It's almost like a little local test.

Darn you...You took mine. It's a Tamarind Tree, right?

How about the "Virgin Islands National Park Sign" on Centerline...marking the top of John Head Rd...Learned that from Rick G!
