All these comments about her but nobody has asked how it took him 7 minutes to find a cafe in one intersection? It’s not a secret lair, presumably enough people find it that it stays in business.
Something similar happened to me. I can 100% vouch for this guy. I had to go to a neighboring locale and ask them and it was like immediately next door. Knowing the address, GPS, and street view did nothing to help me. I was all like “ok, this entrance has the house number immediately before where I needed to go, and the next visible door had the house number immediately after where I needed to go, where the absolute fuck is this?”
I don’t know about your town but in most places odd numbers are on the opposite side of the street from even numbers, so that scenario would mean you should look across the street.
Some road crossings are bad, and some roads are wide. And you may have to wait to cross to an island, then wait there to go further.
Example:
And you could have more of these.

No yeah that was implied i.e. I saw 10 and 14 but not 12

Ah yes, those are sometimes pedestrian speed challenges and reward those willing to dash across at sometimes unmarked times!
