Alright, quotes from clueless Brooklynites about how you'd expect 3" of rain in an hour "in Kansas, but this is Brooklyn!" (what, you think the city limits protect you from weather, as well as the real world?) aside...
Dear fucking god, it's a city of 8 million idiot children.
Dear Lost In Upper-West Side... it's a grid. JUST LIKE YOUR UPPER-EAST SIDE. Replace 'E' with 'W' on the E-W streets, and you'll have your N-S coordinate. Water and Central Park are flipped relative to each other. That is all. Oh, and please turn in your brain, you're obviously not using it.
Yeah, every time I think "It'd be nice to live in the City..." something like this reminds me why I don't.
