i was supposed to go somewhere this morning but when i arrived at the place, parking was full. i decided to just check out this other place within the compound.
when i got there, i wanted to check in in swarm but the venues were not yet created. i therefore went on to map them myself.
guess what, i asked maybe ten people for the names of the streets in front of and beside the venue and not a single one knew! tenants, customers, uniformed personnel, civilians, regulars, passers-by, they all knew how to get to the place but they did not know the names of the streets bordering the venue.
i actually had a similar experience at araneta center. i've asked a dozen people (tenants, customers, guards (!)) what the name of the street between shopwise and SM is before i got someone who knew. and even then, he wanted me to confirm by looking for/at the street sign. haha. i myself have been going to the area for decades and yet never bothered to learn.
some things you really don't have to know. the important thing is to get where you're going.
