Bermuda 'FORT WAYNE" Triangle ??? - Say what?

 OK folks... it's as if the "Bermuda Triangle" has moved to Indiana!  If you are using a GPS here in Fort Wayne and it tells you,  "to get from Point A to Point B, take this route"..... and then it takes you a different route later that same afternoon, even though you still want to get from Point A to Point B.... DON'T BE SURPRISED!!

It's not you.  Really.  And... it's not your GPS.  Really.  There is some other "force" that is working against you and your GPS.  Really.


At first I thought I did something wrong.  I happened to mention it to some of the other people that were already here, and they said it had happened to them.  After speaking to several "responsible & reliable" people, I finally asked the guy at the front desk and he said it is a well known fact that GPS's don't like taking you through their neighborhoods (those are the light colored lines in the map to your left).  It makes you take the "long way" aorund.... the highway! 

I guess we are really messed up, because OUR GPS kept making us take the surface streets and wouldn't allow us on the freeway.  Unless we were leaving the auditorium and coming back to the hotel, we wound around on narrow streets made for 1 car.  Even then it told us to get off the freeway a few exits early.  After 4 days, we have finally figured out the shortest, fastest route from our hotel to the Arena.  We only use the GPS if we are looking to get lost for a few hours!
Just a few buildings along the "neighborhood route"!!!
Another "Stately" looking building....
