"this" is it


Maybe your station is actually somewhere else? Thanks Iris.

what's "car" code for?

I guess everyone at this place drives giant trucks and truck-like vehicles. Thanks James.

or so they claim

Ok, so technically, Jimmy Buffett did sing those words, but didn't write the song. So, uh, I don't know. Also, usually you put quotation marks on the quotation part. Thanks Katie.

"take" it "out"


Oh man, two of my favorite things! Sandwiches and quotation marks! I don't care where you take them or not! Thanks Charlie.

Or another preposition


So, wait, are they on the lobby? over? around? Thanks Duncan.

"unless otherwise"


Carlyle sent me this one, and I'm honestly not sure if the quotations make it more or less certain. I would be afraid to park there, maybe ever, for any length of time.

"french" fries


These fries are really as American as apple pie. Thanks Briana.

"place for soccer"


I think this is the first time somebody sent me a screenshot from streetview. And I guess it's not really your place for soccer. Thanks Darrell.
