Well when I was with my family in Pasadena in March, I `found` a restaurant`
and my nephew burst into laughter. `Well, I'm afraid we will have to climb over
this building to get there.` was his comment.
We did eventually walk to this place but it was around the block from where the
gps pinpointed it. As I remember it didn't say 50 meters away or anything like
that.
