I would like more people to know about The Map Center but I've never bought ads and I don't want to start, especially if it means giving money to Mark Zuckerberg. Also it's kind of the best when people stumble in and their eyes get wide and they say "WHAT. IS. THIS. PLACE?"

Guy in the store this AM said he liked Elon's work. I put a hand on his shoulder and told him I have veterans in my family who are furious/terrified about the VA getting gutted. He just smiled incredulously. I was vibrating with rage. I'm proud of myself for saying something calmly and walking away.
