A local lawyer, R. Raleigh D’Adamo, was the winner of that 1964 contest. His design separated local from express routes and assigned separate colors to each of them. Submissions had to fit all the subway lines into a geographically correct map. So to use as little space as possible, D’Adamo employed colored squares along shared lines.
Personally, I would’ve found the map tough to use as a tourist, none of the station names are indicated. It was replaced by Massimo Vignelli’s version three years later.
That feeling when you reach into your drawer full of random cables and grab the one you actually need first. Hrmm… minimal activity, and then two of last four tweets are of the “that x blah when” variety. Try harder.
Order pizza online, doesn’t arrive. Realize they phoned. They did that the first time too, assumed to verify account. Apparently not. If I order online, I don’t want to talk to you. Why do you want to verify every single detail?
