Back roads, main roads, great neighborhoods, new development, stuff that needs to be torn town (and did back then too).While my area has changed drastically since then, you give me any address in the 4 county area and I can pinpoint exactly where it is, what the quickest route is to it, tell you a lot of stuff about the neighborhood and can maybe even recall the exact building.I started delivering pizza, but later on I delivered flowers.
