everywhere and nowhere

I've just been clicking through a website to find out where in the world the organization physically exists.

With the web, we are all immediate neighbors. We can peek in on each other from anywhere, anytime.

But.

This is not the first time I have had an interest in an organization, and wanted to find out a STREET ADDRESS, and was completely baffled by the website. It took me several pages of clicks to find out something called "Metro West" was located on the East Coast.

Really.

I understand keeping one's location vague if one is an individual- but an organization or business?

I don't get it. Why so hard?

I know, I know- how exhausting can it be to click through web pages? That's not the point, though- what if I wanted to volunteer? Or check out the facility to see if I wanted to write a check for mega millions?

Perhaps this is an indication of my age. Perhaps getting hung up on geographical location is SO 20th century of me.
