I know you love Manhattan, but you ought to look up more often (B)

hand-drawn map of 1980's Manhattan
Janine Nichols, Manhattan, c. 1980 [New York, New York]

Janine Nichols reveals the regularity of New York’s grid through a series of vertical divisions. She highlights important streets and landmarks from her life in 1980’s New York. It features references to, among other things, her job at 30 Rockefeller Center (floating between 49th and 50th streets), her boyfriend at the time joining the Unification Church (indicated by the term “Moonie’s”), and the Twin Towers near her home as they looked at night.
