Trying to get to The Fish Peddler

When Lori and Jane were driving back to Lakewood, Karl called, and they arranged to meet in Tacoma at The Fish Peddler at 7 p.m.

Lori and Jane were nearing the area when Jane, who was reading off step-by-step directions on Google maps, hit a wrong button and lost the directions. Lori continued along until she could find a place to pull over and locate the directions. (She ended up pulling over in angle parking that you were supposed to back into.)

Lori and Jane then drove around in circles as the streets they needed to turn on were blocked with orange cones and/or police cars.

Meanwhile, Karl is at the restaurant watching Lori on Life360. He would see that Lori was almost there - she just had to turn down this street ... and then she wouldn't turn.. After this happened several times, he stopped watching Lori on Life360 as he just couldn't handle it.

At one of the streets Lori was supposed to turn on, they pulled over to speak with a man who had a radio. He explained they were having an "event," but they should be done in 5 minutes.

The "event" was the filming of a motorcycle commercial with a production company from Minneapolis. While they were waiting, the man came back to explain if they went back to Pacific Street (which they had already been on several times) and took it up to 24th Street, they would be able to get to the restaurant. (They were at 14th Street at the time.) Lori explained she was tired of driving around in circles and was happy to wait.

The man with the radio ended up calling ahead to say he was sending a white Nissan through. Lori and Jane then proceeded to drive through the production area. When they got to the next section and were stopped to find out where they were trying to get to, Lori showed the man the map. He said, "Follow my butt." He then led them around the man on the motorcycle (who was being critiqued about how he was holding his arm). Lori and Jane then continued down the street, where they waited at the bottom for a police officer to pull her police cruiser forward so they could finally get through to the restaurant.Leggi altro
