Judgmental Maps by Trent Gillaspie

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” + “Retired Mafioso.” This is where Judgmental Maps comes in- a no holds barred look at city life that is at once a love letter + hate mail from the very people who live there.

What started as a joke between comedian Trent Gillaspie + his friends in Denver, quickly grew into a viral sensation with a rabid + enthusiastic community labeling maps of their cities with names + 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 + offending everyone else in between. Hardcover. 176 pages.
