I forget how I got here, but so glad I did: Birmingham: The Magic Sub-Reddit.
Among other whimsical, witty, and actually useful items, the forum introduced me to the Judgmental Map of Birmingham:

Of course, I immediately sought out my neighborhood on the map.
Of course, I'm not going to tell you where that is at this point, but I will say that I:
- Felt relieved that I hadn't moved to the "undiscovered bodies" neighborhood; and
- Raised an eyebrow and said to myself, "huh," when I saw the characterization of the one I did move to, with said "huh" signifying a long, "hmmmmm," about which even I'm not sure what I mean.
My favorite designation is "angry retired engineers."
There's also a wicked judgmental map of Alabama, with sidebars on its neighbors:

My favorite Alabama designation: "Life's lost luggage."
And Huntsville:

The Huntsville map has a Republicants neighborhood, a designation I had to look up.
In 2013, I shared some maps that purport to show how Americans view the world.
St. Louis has a judgmental map, but it is only sad. Kansas City has one, and it is only mean. Missouri, I'm glad I divorced ye.
