So I gotta find this 120 Kentucky St place for a meetup, right? Heard it’s tricky. Here’s exactly what I did, step by step. Plain English, just like figuring it out myself.
The Search Begins (And Fails)
First, I pulls up that big ol’ map app everyone uses. You know the one. Typed “120 Kentucky St”. Hit enter, feelin’ confident. Boom. Nothin’. Zip. Not a single match. Just a dumb little red error message. Annoying.
So I tries the main search engine instead. Figured maybe it knows better. Nope. Threw back useless stuff – restaurants nearby, news articles about Kentucky… total mess. Felt stuck. Thought maybe I got the address wrong? Double-checked my notes. Nope, “120 Kentucky St”.
Getting Clever (And Using Street View)
Okay, time to get smarter. Back to that map app. This time, I just typed “Kentucky St” alone. That worked. Street popped right up. Zoomed in real close, like eyeball-close to the map. Slowly dragged that little yellow Street View dude onto Kentucky Street. Started ‘walking’ down it virtually, like a slow-mo virtual tourist.
Felt like forever, squinting at blurry house numbers. Passed 100… 110… then bam! There it is! Big, clear “120” right on a building. Easy to spot once you’re actually looking at the street. Finally!
Getting There Without Getting Lost
Alright, found it online. Now, how to actually drive there? Needed driving steps. Back to the map app. Pinpointed the 120 location I just found. Hit the “directions” thingy.
Put in my start point. App instantly gave me routes. Here’s the simplest way it told me:
- Take Main Street heading east (traffic sucks but whatever).
- Keep goin’ straight past 3 traffic lights. Seriously, count ’em!
- After light #3, immediately take the next left. It’s Oak Street, kinda small, easy to miss.
- Go slow now. Kentucky St is just a little ways down Oak, on your right.
- Take a right onto Kentucky St. Boom, 120 should be staring at you, right side, middle of the block. Look for the blue door.
Tried the drive myself later. Worked perfect. Simple. Needed those visual landmarks like the 3 lights and the small turn.
Funny thing? Did all this while figuring out how to say “where’s the bathroom?” in Mandarin. Still can’t pronounce it right.
