Simple Map
FOUND by Damon Remillard
in Chicago, Illinois
I found this last weekend at Foodlife right by the pizza stand. I like the Jag image a lot.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
The hood ornament detail pushed me right over the edge from window shopper to buyer.
I like that jag image too, haha. I love this site. :-)
Hmmm, are these directions? I'm a little scared that the person being directed would only notice the Jag, a statue, and an H&M clothing store to find their friend's apartment.
I think this must be Brighton, the clock tower, H&M, the crossroad, all in the right place! =)
whats the tower-type thing on the corner?
Is it just me, or does this seem like a map of where to find a Jag to steal to anyone else?
I've been trying to find the H&M place for a week!! heeellllpp...
The "statue" is the Chicago Water Tower. I don't know what cross-stree the Jag is on, but the H&M is on N. Michigan - the "main drag" of downtown Chicago.
totally a steal this car map.
Definitely not a map to an apartment! Foodlife is in Water Tower Place, which is a big mall right across from the H&M. The jag's gotta be on Superior; not surprising since it's a pretty ritzy area of Chicago.
I saw it more as a diagram of an accident: because we didn't see the Jag at the corner of statue and main there was an accident.
Thank you Google Maps! Based on this information, the rock-awesome Jag can be found on E. Chicago Street (way to be original with the street name there, Chi-town) and the drop-off for the stolen car is the eerie-looking, yet more interestingly named "Palmolive Building". Crime solved!!!!
H&M is a fabulous establishment. It deserves to be a landmark. I'm glad the maker of this map understands that.
This is surprisingly posted on the store directions portion of the H&M website:
To get to our store on N. Michigan, take E. Chicago until you see the phallus with the marshmallow on it. Turn left at said phallus and come shop with us!
Well.....there it is. Clear as mud. I'm SO glad I have a drawing or map or diagram....yep. There it is.
The "us" in a box is what led me to think it was directions to an apartment/house, I couldn't tell what the hell the little symbol in between was. Makes sense now though, even if I think maps this minimalist are next to useless.
This, to me, is exactly like something I would pass as a note to my sister in class. It would indicate that after school, we were going to take the Jag (haha...yeah right), and go down to the H&M by the tower. Sounds like fun if you ask me! :)
It looks like a math problem.
If the torch is 9.4536219 metres away from the H&M, where is the nearest parking spot for John's new Jag?
Wow, I'm so glad that there are other crazies like me who would actually check this on Google Maps!
Eggs1234...12? Do you really sell clothes made of marshmallows? I'd be interested in a set. Is it mostly casual I'm assuming? Also, any special precautions? (ie:campfire safety)
That is one seriously well-written ampersand. *blink*
Perhaps not to steal the car... perhaps to steal the hood ornament? My boyfriend and his best friend did this a long time ago.
um, what's a jag?
It took some practice, but I taught myself a few years ago how to write a pretty good ampersand. It was the angle of the first line that threw me off the most.
Dearest Pel, I was feigning pervertedness when I stated that I was trying on marshmallows. I meant that I was trying them on my dangus. It was a play on the phallus wearing a marshmallow commment that I posted as related to the map (see the figure at the crossroads).
I am, however, willing to sell you the half-baked idea of marshmallow clothing (that you really came up with all by yourself). All liability related to the potential campfire hazard is also passed to you with the sale of the idea. Go get 'em, Pel. The world has been waiting for marshmallow leisure wear.
Feigning, my ass.
Oops...maybe I shouldn't have mentioned my ass...
Right, you shouldn't have. Between the Kool-Aid pie and the thought of Flargy-ass, I'ma gettin' sick.
My first thought is it looked like details written down for the police/insurance regarding a car accident.
Eggs1234...Oh...that's disappointing :-( :-D
Ah...I see now what you were doing with the marshmall...marshphallows then? Reminds me of that Tom Green skit in the factory...
H & M is obviously a giant phallus.....Finally, a map to a treasure!!
HAHAHAHa this one definately makes me laugh.. My family makes maps like this for me all the time. I'm map illiterate...it's sad really.
