    Doesn't make as much sense when you come at the bridge from the other side. But still sort of funny.

    Hi All,

    Back in 2006 I used google directions from the train station to the hotel downtown the day before I was to walk over to the dealarship and pick up my Prius. Directions walked me right into a blank wall about 25 feet tall. It said I was supposed to scale the wall, to get to the other side of the street that the wall was an overpass of, and then turn left.

    After the bridge, I keep advancing the arrow to take the "Highway to Heaven", but no joy.
