NERD-O-MAPS

A shining example of how nerdy I am.

All of the points on the GOOGEL MAP show a place where either good or bad planning has happened in the past. I decided to map out every single example of Urban Planning from my text book.

The HODGE
I myself don't feel as nerdy as I feel you think I'm nerdy. ENJOY!

BREAD. BUTTER. CHEESE. . . PLEASE!

What do you get when you mix bread, butter and cheese together? A LAME CHEESE SANDWHICH!

Now take that sandwhich and heat it with delicious inducing flames and you have... A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWHICH!

Life's great simplicity
But how do you make a Grilled Cheese Sammy even better?

Well, you could add extra ingredients like sautéed mushrooms and jalapeños or you could be like one anonymous guy in Manhattan and serve them secretly underground.

Bread. Butter. Cheese., is a covert underground restaurant run by Mr. Anonymous. He specializes only in Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and has quit the cult following. He doesn't have an actual restaurant location, all sandwiches are made in his apartment kitchen. He doesn't have a business license, he says they are to costly in New York. So to sell his Grilled Cheeses he uses a system not unlike many drug dealers.

This dealer fills his merchandise
with CHLOROX and BAKING SODA!
First he receives a text message with an order which can range from being a plain Grilled Cheese to a sandwich of the day with fancy extras like sautéed onions. He then replies with a time and location, that suits him best, for making the drop off. A nonchalant Anonymous will make eye contact as he slowly walks towards you with a brown paper bag hidden under his arm. The deal continues with an exchange of money for the contents of the paper bag. Both the buyer and seller calmly walk separate ways and the deal is done.

Also useful for drinking liquor in broad daylight
This system is sprouting up all over New York City. Many people want to open their own restaurant but can't afford the lease on a location, the insurance, the taxes and the business licensing fees. It's kind of built out of necessity. Why waste tons of money on a business that is questionable. It's far cheaper to start a business underground and see how it works out. If it becomes successful then maybe it's worth putting money into. It's like a testing ground for restaurants.

A lot of customers will also tell you that the experience is the biggest reason for buying from underground restaurants like Bread. Butter Cheese.. The extreme measures taken in keeping these Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, one of the simplest meals to make, on the down low is both exciting and ridiculous for the customer.

Who doesn't want to see a Grilled Cheese Sandwhich deal get busted?

I'M LACTOSE INTOLERANT OFFICER!

LE CORBUSIAHHHHHHHH!

Meet Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris who renamed himself, out of a need to feel more important than you or I, Le Corbusier. A dapper architect with aspirations to be an Urban Planner.

DEVIL IN DORK GLASSES!

His big contribution to Urban Planning was to never trust a slick haired self righteous architect who's first name is THE in french.

His Master Plan was to build these monolithic structures that fed his Vampiric hunger for symmetry and order, which oddly goes against his known architectural style. This makes for every human beings worst nightmare of the future.

1925 Plan Voisin for Paris
Actually planned to tear down historic parts of Paris for this?

Whats your address?
Living compartment 3147, level 112, quadrant 4, structure 6

Good thing that Le Corb's design was only AMAZING in his own riddled mind. Apparently, every time he brought his design to Parisian Council (OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS!!!) they laughed his ass all the way down the Champs D'Elise!
