Title: I was a map guy before I was a traffic light guy
Post by: traffic light guy on February 08, 2018, 08:30:34 PM
Yes, before I was known as the annoying scrooge who obsesses over old traffic lights within the Philadelphia area, I was really into Maps. When I was very young I would draw maps of Montgomery county, make up my own civilizations even, sometimes build towns out of legos. So yeah, I've been into other stuff besides that.

This seems like a not-general-highway-talk type of thread  ;-)

Credit where credit's due: at least you recognise your nuttiness. We've been trying to tell FritzOwl for years that his plans are completely ridiculous and nonsensical, and that he needs to tone it down a bit. But he storms forward anyway, seemingly oblivious to the criticisms directed at him.

Was the username mapguy taken?

It's all good, you know...we're not judging if you happen to like maps, roads, signs, retail, railways, railroads, weather, radio, license plates, football, game shows, fast food, TV ephemera, catalogs, chewing gum, luggage tags, baseball cards, beer bottles, Lego, newspapers, thimbles, shoes, box tops, Swedish Fish, doughnut commercials, and paint swatches.

Posting your long-range plans for cryogenic preservation of Wink Martindale might be taking it a bit too far.

Breezewood must be demolished.

The important thing is, purple makes everyone believe it will be so. The practical application is moot  ;-)
