New York, NY – Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Today Groupon posted this map on their facebook page. I love Groupon, and I love maps, hand drawn typography, and infographics, so you figure win, win, win, win… well, sorta. This map is pretty good, but it leaves a lot out and has some inaccuracies. Everyone in NJ and Eastern PA go to “THE SHORE” not the ocean, not the New Jersey Shore, and especially not BOARDWALK, just “The Shore” which means Jersey Shore (we also would go to lakes and rivers btw)
Manhattan should say “the Hamptons” or Long Island, and Brooklyn / Queens should say “The Rockaways,” AC (Atlantic City), or “Coney Island.” Most of New England could say Cape Cod, Nantucket, or Martha’s Vineyard. And from taking summer trips to Tennessee with Molly’s family and having never once been to Dollywood, I know for fact that’s bogus. They vacation in Panama City, Florida (also known as “The Redneck Rivera.”
I’m pretty sure anyone who lives around the great lakes, don’t go to Florida (it’s the one time a year they can swim in their lakes). I assume Hawaiians might want a break from time to time and when they go on vacation it’s to “the mainland” and when the do, they go to VEGAS.
I’m heading to AC this weekend for a first dip in the Atlantic of the summer, and yes, I will walk on the boardwalk. Where are you from and where did you go in the summer on vacation. I’ll draw a new map and do this shit up right. Please post below!
