Somehow I never put it together that he moved across the country. TIL.

Also I'm digging on the vintage google maps. It's taking me back to when my parents would print out map quest directions for long road trips. Ahhh the past.

Member when you could click and drag the route and make your own alternate routes?

You make me feel really old. I used to print out map quest for directions. My parents would use outdated road maps.

Never heard of a TripTik! We just had a whole sheaf of printer paper stapled together.

An interesting video on TripTiks I found(they still do them apparently): https://www.youtube.com/live/zwG2AUOrdeM?si=wCjxqYEWnSdqxYXf

For some reason I assumed there was a Bel Air on the east coast of the US. Imagine how much that cab ride would have cost.

Man I like how clean and simple the UI was back then

With Google's reputation for Easter eggs. I don't know if this is edited, or real.
