Craig: Excuse me, I'm looking for number 250 on East 97th Street. Can you tell me how to get there?
Policeman: Ninety-seventh street? Wow, that's pretty far away. I hope you're not in a hurry.
Craig: Actually, I'm late for my first day of work. What's the fastest way to get there? Policeman: Do you have a car or are you taking public transportation? Craig: I'm on foot.
Policeman: Well if you're walking, the fastest way to get there is to go through Central Park. Craig: Central Park? How do I get there?
Policeman: Follow this road straight for three blocks until you see 97th street. Then take a left. Craig: OK, I'll go straight on this street and take the third left. Then what? Policeman: Follow 97th street until you get to the other side of Central Park. Number 250 will be four blocks ahead on your left.
Craig: Great! Thanks for your help.
Craig: Officer, I followed the directions you gave me, but I didn't find the address! I think you gave me the wrong directions.
Officer: What? That's impossible. I told you the right way to get to 250 West 97th street.
Craig: West 97th street? No, I told you East 97th street! You mean I walked all the way there for nothing?
Officer: You're going to East 97th Street? Oh no, I must have told you how to get to West 97th street! East 97th street is just around the corner. You can get there in five minutes.
Craig: Alright officer, can you please tell me how to get to 250 EAST 97th street? Policeman: Of course. Just go back to 97th street, and instead of turning left, turn right. The building will be on your left-hand side.
Craig: Ok. Is that the fastest route? I'm really late now.
Policeman: There is a short cut, but since you don't know the city well, it's probably best to take the easiest route so you don't get lost.
