This is what happens when you pick up your dog from daycare, 4 Lyft drivers reject your ride, you take the sketchiest 1 mile walk through West Oakland in the darkness, and then give Benson his first adventure on the BART from West Oakland to Rockridge -- while trains are out of service.
Tonight was intense AF. #BensonUpdate #Today
I grew up in south central LA so I'm no suburban wilting flower.
When I tell you walking through that section of West Oakland stressed me TF out, I am NOT exaggerating. I'm street smart enough to know that a woman walking alone through deserted warehouse areas at night is NOT safe.
Thank jeebus Benson looked tough as nails. (Though he was actually on the best sniffari of his life. He chased two rats!!)
But golf clap to the #Citymapper app that helped me navigate in unfamiliar territory. Love this app. Best public transit app I've ever used.
@DeliaChristina it’s SO good. I couldn’t have gotten around London without it
@uncle6 Any app that can help me navigate a city's confusing transit system (looking at you, Los Angeles, DC, and NYC), gets 5 s from me.
