When I moved from Colorado 20 years ago, learning to tell directions without the mountains always being to my west was a real challenge! Welcome to DC!

Thank you! Even with the help of the mountains as a marker I’m still horrendous at directions so this will be extra difficult! I was truly in awe at how people there know exactly what neighborhood, street name, metro line, etc to take and what direction they all run. They didn’t even have to think about it or process it! Heard some phone conversations of people yelling at the other end (someone who clearly didn’t know where they were going) and thought “oh god people are gonna be frustrated with me all the time bc i never know where i am” lmao
