Judgmental Maps by Trent Gillaspie
A sharp tongued and fierce witted full-color collection of maps of America's greatest cities in all their brutally honest glory.
Your City. Judged.
When you move to a new city you look at a map to get you where you need to be, but a Google Map of San Francisco won't tell you where you can get "Real Dim Sum" or where "The Worst Trader Joes Ever" is. Or if you're visiting Chicago, you might want to see the Magnificent Mile, but not know it's right next to where "Suburbanites Buy Drugs" and "Retired Mafioso." This is where Judgmental Maps comes in - a no holds barred look at city life that is at once a love letter and hate mail from the very people who live there.
What started as a joke between comedian Trent Gillaspie and his friends in Denver, quickly grew into a viral sensation with a rabid and enthusiastic community labeling maps of their cities with names and descriptions we all think of, but are a bit too shy to say out loud. Collected here in a full color, beautifully packaged book with all new, never before published material, Judgmental Maps is laugh out loud funny from New York to Los Angeles, Minneapolis to Atlanta and offending everyone else in between.
Trent Gillaspie is a self-described cartography nerd who lives in Austin, Texas. He is a comedian, a technology product manager, and a graphic designer by hobby. The Huffington Post, Business Insider, Complex Magazine, Someecards, The Atlantic's CityLab, and Tumblr named his JudgmentalMaps.com blog one of the Top Trending Blogs of 2014. He believes that running through a city is a great method to learn all of the city's best-kept secrets. He wants to own a house in Denver's People's Bosses neighborhood one day, and he wants to tour all 50 states. His state count is at 47 at the time of publication, and he wonders if West Virginia is really worth it.
