Where did All the People Go?

About a year ago, my girlfriend and I went to eat dinner at Chipotles. Its in a smallish shopping area with a burger joint and Pei-Wei neighboring the Chipotle...one of those kind of upper-classy type shopping areas.

Sharp Bend

When I was like 10 or 11 I was going to the beach with my aunt and her friends. There were two cars of us. To get there we had to go through a very large industrial area. We didn't know the direction, so our car was following the other. Suddenly, they did an unexpected turn and so our driver had to take a sharp bend.
