Loving: Maps, maps, maps

I don't know what it is--their graph-y nature, their visual organization, their simplicity--but I could stare at maps for hours (really--run into me on a subway platform, and you may just find me staring at the MTA map...even though I've been riding the subway for nine years now!). I have two framed in my little home (one of Brooklyn, seen below, and an antique map I found of London at a flea market in London under the Waterloo bridge) and am always looking for more.

I have to say (and my wife will confirm) that maps are among my most favorite things. I also have the predilection to get lost in one, no matter where I am or where I want to go (even if I'm going nowhere).

Very fun, smart and sophisticated blog Amy!! I have it saved in my favorites folder, and look forward to reading more! Hope you're well-
