[nagdu] Pilot in 1987

[Jenine Stanley]

Oh Jessica, I forgot about Gift Street! Duh! I thought something was wrong
with my description of going to the bus stop near Pilot. It's 2 blocks up,
not just 1. 

And wow, now you cross at Grubb, eh? That's a killer curb on the west side
of Town Street right there, always has been as I recall. 

Good to hear about using the CVS store too. I wondered if they still had
that as an option and wondered where you bought stuff now since Woolworth's
is long gone. 

Boy do I miss the old Lazarus store. I learned my initial cane O&M there
then guide dog work, escalators, working delicate areas like the china shop
and such. It was a great old fashion 6-floor department store. They were
very good to Pilot and its grads over the years.

Its a bit different as of 2009 not sure exactly now as i'm waiting to get
back in for a poodle, but anyway here it is as of 2009 the gate is on town
street now, not grub, halfway between grub and skidmore, so you go out of
the gate and go right at the down curb you cross skidmore.
you then continue straight along town to gift street you turn right at the
down curb and walk along gift to rich street you then wait at the light and
cross rich street at the up curb you turn right walk maybe 2 or 3 steps turn
right again to face the street and wiat for the bus. I forget the numbers!
the trainer will tell you the numbers of the bus though.
you ask the driver for long and high
you get off at long and turn left and walk maybe half a block or so to down
curb turn left curb to curb and cross high screet another light and a crazy
ione in my opinion.
you then walk down high and cross gay, broad, I hate that one, and down to
state.
then you turn around and walk abck up the block about half a block and wait
for the bus.
some trainers have you cross state go in cvs and purchase and then come back
out and cross state and find the bus stop, others don't mine did not.
You get on the bus and as for gift and town streets when you get off you
turn left and find the very. very flat curb it is so flat it is hard to
figure out if its the curb or street there, you then cross, and walk a long
block all the way to grub street you turn left curb to curb which is
difficult because of a huge lump thing in the sidewalk I think its a drain,
you cross town on the light, you step up onto a very very high curb.. like,
knee high you turn left and start saying juno find inside because the gate
is coming up on the right, they know where that gate si, the pull picks up
the tail wags, the dog wiggles, they know, and yoru done!
my first time in 2008 we had to go to the cvs and buy something and then go
out and turn right and get the bus there but the bus stop location changed
in 2009.
I'm hoping to go back sometime this year, i am told i'm on the wiatin glist
with some in front of me and no poodles available right now at all so we
still wait.
