Directions
Why do they make directions so complicated. I live in an area called Freeland, that is between the cities of Midland, Bay City and Saginaw Michigan. There's a couple of ways to get from where we live to Midland, but the road names make no sense. Some examples:
One road you take to get to Freeland is called Freeland Road, except when it's in Freeland, where it's called Washington. Then from the Freeland/Washington Road, you turn north on Midland road to go to Midland, but on the way there, you have to turn off the road you're on to stay on Midland Road, which becomes Saginaw Road. Which if you drive it long enough, goes from South Saginaw, to North Saginaw and as you get farther west, becomes East Saginaw road - all the time get farther away from Saginaw City and County. Eventually, it becomes West Saginaw Road, before changing back into North Saginaw Road until if changes into East Railway Street.
And by the way, when you're southbound on Midland Road, it turns into State Street unless you turn off of it to stay on Midland Road.
