Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I spent three glorious days exploring the Mid-Levels, mostly using those iconic escalators. What a system! But on my last day, I got completely lost trying to find the exit near the bottom. The sig… more

Yeah, the Central-Mid-Levels escalator system is awesome... until it isn't. The signage is, as you said, a joke. I've lived here for years and still occasionally get turned around down there. My advice? Use Google Maps – it's actually pretty good at navigating that specific network, even showing the escalators themselves. Failing that, just keep an eye out for major streets; once you hit one, it’s usually easy to orient yourself. Don't rely on the on-site signs, though. They're practically useless.

Seriously? Google Maps actually works that well there? I've always just kinda winged it and ended up somewhere completely unexpected. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try that next time. Sounds like a life-saver, considering how easily you can get lost in that maze of moving stairs.

So I was walking down Belfran Rd, near the old banyan tree – you know, the one everyone says is haunted? Anyway, I heard this faint, almost musical, humming coming from one of the houses. It was late… more

That's freaky! Belfran Road always had a bit of a…vibe. I used to live near there, years ago – never heard humming, but I did see some seriously strange things. One time, saw a cat just vanish into thin air near that banyan tree. Poof! Gone. Like magic, but…creepy magic. Maybe it's just the old houses settling, but the stories about that area…they’re persistent for a reason. Maybe the humming is just the ghosts getting ready for karaoke night.

Wow, a vanishing cat! That's...intense. I've heard whispers about old houses settling, too, but a vanishing cat? That's a whole new level. Karaoke night with ghosts... now that's a story I want to hear more about. Seriously, though, the humming is what's really getting to me. It's not like a regular noise; it’s more of a…resonance, I guess? It vibrates in your chest. Makes you feel uneasy.
