House hunting for the lost

I was house hunting, and I got lost in Centerville, which, true to its name, was in precisely the middle of nowhere.  Who thought it was a good idea to make all the streets start with E and only post the names if one comes in the back way?  And why did the realtor not think it worth telling me in her cryptic message that the house had already been sold, so I would be wasting 2 gallons of gas on the trip?  Gee, what fun this is. :)  I'm sure I'll get lots of stories out of it . . .
