Context. Context. Context.
So some fire and brimstone preacher in the 20's told his congregation to NEVER go to the corner of 1st and main because it was a well known red light district. Flash forward 80 years and the grand children and great grand children still don't EVER go to the corner of first and main "because that is what we've always been taught!" even though the corner of 1st and main now consists of a Walgreens, Cost cutters, Bank of America, and a small Real estate office. Remember the "ancient landmarks!" is all that matters.
