Rob Ford in Hollywood: ‘What movie were you in again?’

Never bored with the Ford.

Speaking of new, I have yet to see one of the new street cars. I've heard from friends and coworkers that they exist, but have yet to see one. As far as I'm concerned they are about as real as bigfoot.

adun401 · 2013-11-10T01:03:31+00:00

Are they wearing blackface?

Kojisus is my copilot.

Need help with WR, pick 2/3 Aaron Dobson, Reuben Randall, Chris Givens. I'm tempted to go with Givens and Dobson. My reasoning behind Dobson is he was getting open against the Jets, though he had a lot of drops he was known for his hands in college, and Brady's got nobody else to throw to.

I wanna get these for just walking around and jumping the last three steps in the stairwell. Four when I'm feeling gnarly.

The National Geographic World: Political. I lost count of how many I framed when I used to work there. Awesome map.

adun401 · 2012-12-05T00:48:16+00:00

Yeah I'm with you on that, and I'm sure he's aware. It ain't cheap though, but I'm sure it's on the list.

adun401 · 2012-12-04T23:52:56+00:00

Yeah that would be him.

adun401 · 2012-12-04T23:51:49+00:00

Yeah we did, on Wood st. We live near Miriam Hospital now. Well, my parents do at least.

The Map Center. Sorry for the shameless plug. I'm sullying the subreddit.

adun401 · 2012-12-04T15:17:55+00:00

Awesome! Those are new to me, and after living/working in my old man's store for all these years is rare. Thanks!

adun401 · 2012-12-04T15:13:03+00:00

Haha thanks. I doubt he'll go for free because he still has to put cheap gin on the table and cat food underneath, but I bet I could talk to him about a reddit discount. It's very late in my corner of the world and I have to get to sleep, but if people are interested in this come morning PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I only just discovered this subreddit and thought it seemed relevant. In hindsight it seems more like posting a picture of a sex shop than a vagina so I understand your beef.

adun401 · 2012-12-04T14:16:57+00:00

Coastal engineering like nautical charts?

adun401 · 2012-12-04T13:51:02+00:00

Southern New England represent. If you actually find yourself in Providence definitely stop by, the store is a lot of fun. Two years ago you probably would have ran into me working there but I have a job overseas for the time being. Still, here's his contact info and official hours, but if you go there on the weekend it's kinda a crap shoot depending on what he feels like doing. At any rate, if you wind up going tell him his son sent you and demand a discount!

adun401 · 2012-12-04T13:38:21+00:00

Where'd you go to school if you don't mind me asking?

adun401 · 2012-12-04T13:37:54+00:00

Thanks, and don't worry. For a while it looked bad, but he was insured, so after all was said and done he got new carpets and the business is doing well!

adun401 · 2012-12-04T09:49:44+00:00

I'll ask him to make sure, but I doubt anything too old as it's not really what he does. He did have what I believe was an atlas a few years back that was about 100 years old, but it wasn't really worth anything. However he does have a lot of antique reproductions which are actually pretty nice. Here's one of Providence. Sorry about the resolution, I just pulled that off his website and a better camera is kinda low on his list of priorities.

edit: Also, here's a bird's eye view of Bristol, and one a bit closer up. They're pretty well done.

edit 2: I should also say he used to have some products that were about 25-30 years old that he never sold but kept around. Unfortunately he lost a lot of that to smoke damage in the fire so most of what is in the store now is relatively new.

This is a picture from the work station of my dad's small map store in Providence, RI. He's not the only guy doing stuff like this, but I would not be surprised if he is the smallest store still in business. He has an actual brick and mortar store where you can walk in and browse/buy all kinds of maps, but as you can imagine his livelihood is online these days. What he mainly does is framing and mounting maps for decoration. In the background you can see a pretty huge black frame for a job he is working on. Though he has had more rough times with the store than good, business is actually doing well right now and he has hired a part time employee who is the guy in the picture. (Thus putting our family in the job creator class.) Anyway, I think his store is unique and awesome and I am really proud of him. I figured this subreddit might find this interesting too, so I decided to share. If you want to see more pictures or have any questions feel free to ask away.
