I lived in South London (England) for many years. There is the famous 'Covent Garden Market' and a more industrial 'New Covent Garden Market' a few mile away.

I lived in South London (England) for many years. There is the famous 'Covent Garden Market' and a more industrial 'New Covent Garden Market' a few mile away. Occasionally I'd see very nicely dressed American tourists (imagine, a father in cargo shorts with a map in hand. And a wife and kids with brightly coloured tourist-clothes). All heading towards the industrial area. The first few times this happened, I actually pointed them to where I thought they wanted to go... the warehouses. I guess we all try to fit information as best as we can with the current context. So if someone says take me to down-town-San-Fransisco... and the last part seems like non-sense... we would often just point them to whatever downtown is nearby.
