B: No, I’m sorry. I don’t know. I’m from out of town.
A: Excuse me. Do you know where the post office is?
B: Sure. It’s not far from here. Walk straight ahead until you get to Main street. Then…
A: Sorry to interrupt you. How many blocks is that?
B: It’s about two or three blocks. It’s the first traffic light you come to. When you get to Main street, turn right and walk one block to Broadway. Then turn left and go about half a block.
A: Which side of the street is it on?
B: Coming from this direction, it’ll be on your right side. It’s in the middle of the block, next to the Sweets Ice Cream Shop. You can’t miss it. Do you want me to repeat any of that?
