Unmapped Boston

A wall map of Boston titled “Unmapped Boston,” which delineates every neighborhood, subway line, and major thoroughfare in the city, has been getting a lot of attention lately. …And we’ve got them!

In a Boston Globe article from July, the map is featured with a few other artistic interpretations of Boston in map form. Soon thereafter we had hordes of customers coming into the store, clutching crinkled clips of newspaper, putting in order after order for the map. Since it seemed so popular, we thought we ought to tell everybody why it was special.

Why then, you ask? For one, it’s the only wall map-like map of Boston we have or even know of. Secondly, it’s great for getting an idea of where the neighborhoods actually lay in relation to the transit systems and to each other. Lastly, it’s just cool looking; it is, after all, a work of art.

So, if you want something informative, stylish, and Boston-y for your wall that’s not about the Red Sox, come on in and take a closer look or visit the artist’s website.
