If you're on mobile and want to save a copy of this map to get around town, here's a direct link to the image so you can save it locally: https://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/full/64564/im... (on mobile the site does some things with zoom and scroll that makes it a pain).

Not holding my breath, mind you. I do live in "the third world country of America." But it's what I choose to put my very limited time and effort into.

This is silly. You expect anyone to take you seriously?
