"Are we in downtown Seattle?" asks a young woman riding on the Tacoma-Seattle express. Buildings rising 40-50 stories line the bus route as she asks.
"Yes, he replies," we're in downtown Seattle.
"Can you tell me where the McDonald's is?"
"Which McDonalds?
"Well just let me off here."
"Wait a minute," the driver and I reply in unison.
We tell her there's a McDonalds near Westlake Center, but that is still several stops away. She stays on. Turns out that there are six McDonalds downtown, so when she asks directions on the street, who knows where she will end up. I hope she has return fare.
