Sour grapes: Chicagoist passes over my crappy Chicago-related map for an even crappier Chicago-related map

Here's my Chicago Neighborhood Map, North Sider Reference Edition. I first published it back in the Comically Inept days. I was pretty proud of it and sent an email to Chicagoist giving them a heads-up. I never heard back, but didn't take it to heart. Those guys are super busy, after all. There's no way they have time to check out every crappy Chicago-related map that comes their way and give it space on their site. Oh wait. Huh. I guess maybe they do. Except mine of course. Not that I'm bitter or anything, Chicagoist. You fuckers.

  1. if its any help the map the Chicagoist printed is completely lost on me... ;o) They clearly dont see talent!

    When we stayed in Chicago we stayed in the city so Im not too sure where abouts that is on your map either, but Im going to hazard a guess at it being one of the uncoloured areas ;o)

  2. This is absolutely spot-on! I'd totally buy this to frame.
