The reason I said "for tourists" is because a local will learn the layout eventually regardless of what it is. I don't think my experiences in, say, Birmingham where I lived for a decade are comparable to my experiences in Philly, which I have visited once for a few days.
- brlewis 8y agoI've been local to Boston for decades and haven't truly learned the layout. I can get to any given place, but without consulting the map I'll often choose a suboptimal route. It's hard to stop my brain from forcing the layout into a grid, which it very much is not.
