Lifelong New Yorkers are unreliable for directions {Gadling}

Jan 11th 2010 7:53AM I think this is common for a lot of cities. People take some things for granted, they know how to get somewhere if they need it, but when it comes to explaining they get completely blurred. And they generally know what interests them, the rest is just something they know exists but couldn't tell where it was. I've seen this a lot in the city I live in, Bucharest, and also in other (Istanbul, Amsterdam etc).
