A patron visits your branch library and they only have $1.50 in their pocket. They are trying to figure out if they can take the bus from your branch to the nearest McDonalds later today because they have an interview. Practice using Google Maps directions and write in your blog about how easy/hard it would be to get to their interview by bus and about how much time it would take.
The nearest McDonald's is on San Pedro at 721 San Pedro. According to Google Maps, the patron could take the # 3 or the #4 to this location and it would take about 11 minutes. It is a little closer than the locations on Alamo Plaza and another one downtown, It is about 7/10 of a mile away.
It was pretty easy to do this. I found it a little harder to use Google Street View to find the Subway Sandwich shop nearest the Encino Branch Library. I kept having to go back to step 1 to find the street view again. I finally found it. I also took a detour inside the Planet Fitness nearby. I have NO sense of direction, so this is helpful.
