Do you know the way to San Jose? I found this googling for map images for an animated title sequence I am doing. Wow. A treasure trove of antique maps of every age, description and location.

Yeah -- go south from San Francisco on 101. I once started collecting photos of San Jose signs on the 101,880,680 etc so I could start the doyouknowthewaytosanjose.com website, only to find the domain was already taken (not surprisingly I guess). Oh well, ifyouregoingtosanfrancisco.com is still available.

I clicked the google ads just to support the guy cause I figured us Mefites were costing him some money. But the ads are all for antique map dealers and their websites are pretty cool too.
