You Can't Get There From Here...
I'm here in lower Paradise for a month before I fly back North for the Holidays. All my traveling while I'm here is by golf cart.
I'm pretty independent, but here's my tale of woe:
Kohl's is having a big sale, and Joann Fabrics had a 50% off coupon in the Sunday paper. So I get out my map to plot my course from the Village of Bonita to Kohls. But you can't get there from here.
OK - I didn't go to exercise this morning, so I'll just park the golf cart at Walgreens in Rolling Acres Shopping strip and, being a lawful citizen, cross at the light at Rolling Acres and Rt 441/27. But there was no crosswalk there! I looked across Rolling Acres and noticed that if I crossed at the light, I'd have to hike up a steep (at least to me) hill to get to a sidewalk. Hmm..... Now what do I do??
So I walked down to the entrance to the shopping center and jay-walked across Rolling Acres to get to the next shopping area.
Is there another way to get there??? If there is not, who can I complain/question/beg about an easier and safer journey to spend my (husband's) hard earned money???
