both positive and negative, improvised maps continue to tell stories and trigger memories

this map contains within it the memory of that scrambled, rushed feeling of being both disoriented in an unfamiliar place, and in a hurry to be on time for an important meeting in this unfamiliar place.  at the time, i was at a coffee shop where i had accidentally left a bag of art supplies (which disappeared in less than 24 hours), so the barista had scrawled this map to direct me to the store i'd attempted to describe - i knew it was somewhere around there but couldn't discern one block from the next.  the art store actually was not in the vicinity of wherever this map was supposed to lead me and i had to ask several others for directions.  the horizontal street is supposed to spell out "broadway" and the vertical intersection remains a mystery.
