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.
