Be Your Own Guide
I recently moved here to Seattle, and it’s been kind of difficult finding my way around the city. Near the end of the week, I found myself having nothing to do on Friday and Saturday night because I don’t know many people yet. My friend from back east recommended I buy a Garmin handheld GPS. I asked him “Buy a GPS? How is that going to help me find something to do on the weekend?” It turns out that newer GPS units provide more than just directions and simple navigation, they can also find local restaurants, nightclubs, and even theatres.
So I caved and bought a Garmin GPS and have since grown quite attached to it. The first Friday I found a great bar downtown, met a few people, and then we went out to see a movie. I even used my GPS to find out the show times! If you’re new to a city, a GPS unit is essential. You’re sure to meet new people quick provided you know where to look, and a GPS is just the tool to help you find the happening places around town.
