Part of Orientation Day was a losing battle for geographical direction against new surroundings and mobile gps. I've yet to hear about the a grand, gung-ho operation system of a mobile phone map. So I was searching for a Wachovia and turned to my handy dandy mobile gps. My phone took me about 4+ blocks away from school campus.
[Take note the phone's gps was set on "Walking Mode" not "Driving Mode"]
"Walking Mode" took me from a sidewalk to under an actual overpass and crossed over some train tracks. Under the overpass felt and looked like a completely different world. A world of torn clothes, old dirty furniture, worn mattresses and a plethora of red dirt. Among the things of homelessness was graffiti: good, bad, and not-so-good. Taking these pictures made up for the failure of my mobile phone's directions. The very first picture was the very last one I took down there, mainly because it signifies Crip territory.
[PS. My phone never took me where I needed to go. The bank was on campus]
