Makeshift map to cross the street
This is either cute or annoying. It’s cute in that someone made their own urban map of 72nd street either to:
- help those who are lost because they themselves were once lost on this block.
- prevent people from asking questions in the street and getting hit by the crosstown bus (as illustrated).
- to add art to a lamppost.
It’s annoying because it also has a hint of gentrifying hispterness or privaldege to it. Is it a local map, or a map to help the newbies and Eurotourists as they stroll by Zabars and H&H Bagels?
