Mix up

posted January 19th, 2017 at 4:41 PM

I always get mixed up with "Renfrew " St and "Rupert" St. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks having two main roads ,that close to each other,both beginning with the letter 'R" wasn't such a good idea.

How about Howe and Hornby? Too close! Thankfully Homer & Hamilton is on the other side of Granville... ugh! And don't forget which one way is the right way for Seymour and Richards! :)

Does this help:
Renfrew (with "W") is west, while Rupert is east.

Same!

But maybe it's Rupert..???

Meeeee too. Always. And I drive that road every single day and I still mix them up. It makes me happy that someone else does too cauz I'm generally a pretty smart person with a good memory ;p

I have thought about this too

Best o could come up with is that REnfrew with an e after the R should be further East. But it isn't. Fuck

I get confused at the SkyTrain stations too and sometimes will go to the opposite one. When I get downstairs and walk out I'm like wtf.. I was trying to get to Superstore but I'm by McDonald's haha.
