Even With This Perfect Map, Liberty Managed to Get Lost

Navigating certain areas of Evansville's westside can be kind of confusing, especially if you don't spend much time there. One area that I imagine doesn't see too many non-westsiders is the intersection near Sontag Avenue and Mt. Vernon Avenue.

We recently had a company 'Fun Day' outing at High Score Player Two which is located in this area (2814 Mt. Vernon Ave). I'm a westsider so I of course know right where the classic arcade is. LIberty, on the other hand, had no idea how to find it. I told her "it's on Mt. Vernon Avenue ' but that didn't help at all. Next, I told her to just stay on Franklin Street as she heads west - that too did not help. My final thought was "I'll just draw her a simple map." I quickly jotted down the path she needed to take. Here is the map I gave her.

Now, I know full well how much Liberty struggles with finding places and following directions - and I still thought my map would get the job done.

Fast forward to the next day - Liberty and I are on the air talking about our event when all of the sudden she tells me my map was no good and she had a hard time finding the arcade. How could she get lost on such a simple trip? Take a listen to how she explains herself...

Liberty Blames Bobby for Getting Lost

Now I want you to decide for yourself. Is/Was my map really the problem? Check out this side-by-side of my map and the actual Google Map. I think they're pretty doggone similar - in fact, I'm actually pretty impressed with myself.
