Ya know whats so funny about this one? Our office is on the "historic
square" of downtown Fayetteville GA, and is on a one way street. About 4
blocks up is a road called Jeff Davis, which has a Chevron on the corner.
Virtually all directions I give people on how to "git outta here" from my
office are:
Go down to Jeff Davis (you know right by the Chevron), and take a left,
then....
