I was in Boston and the surrounding satellite-cities quite a few times in the 90s for business. I seem to recall more than once getting directions to turn onto a street which, when we got there, was either one way in the wrong direction or had been completely blocked off and closed.
I guess every city has its own navigation hazards.
Be thankful you don't live in the south. We tend to give directions based on things that aren't there anymore. "Go down to where the Sears used to be and take a left at where the Burger King burned down, then take a right where Mack's Bait Shop used to be...." (REAL directions in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, by the way.)
