Marquette Map

1988-89 Marquette University campus map by mykldnovak, on Flickr

One thing is made apparent by this historical gem... the overuse of Comic Sans has been going on a lot longer than most had originally thought.

Well, seeing as this map was done in cartoon form, this is actually  one of the extremely rare times the use of Comic Sans is appropriate.  Besides, I am not so sure that this lettering wasn't done freehand.  I will have to go home and look at my full-size copy.

BZZT!  Comic Sans was designed/released in 1994, a few years after that map was drawn.

There's still one at 25th and State.

Yep...and caddy corner from...Ricky's.  Pretty sure this was where CTC was going when he got pulled over going the wrong way on a one way street.  Better to give than receive, so you can receive when you give across the street, ain'a?

Money or no money, I'm pretty sure no female would wanna provide head services to that phony, hey?

Seriously though, you really didn't have to go to trouble of looking it up.  It was a joke.

I love marquette but in all honesty, we have to have one of the ugliest campuses in the nation.

Eh.

It's an urban campus that has done a lot with the space it has given it's hemmed in on two sides by a freeway.

The one thing that Marquette should have handled better is designing new buildings with some architectural consistency.

The last building that's outside the overall campus theme is Cudahy.  Since then, pretty much everything is somewhat related in appearance.

Huh?  How many urban private schools have you visited?  Or land grant public schools?  Go see Western Illinois if you want ugly.

You have apparently never seen UIC, or any other campus that was primarily built during the Brutalist period of architechture.

Right.  I am talking prior to then.  Not much Marquette can do about it now, but if you could turn back time...

I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.

I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time

Nice that you know your Cher songs so intimately.

Well, it takes one to know one.  Just sayin'.

Someday when McCormick comes down we'll have made a real dent.

There are plenty of better campuses, but given the urban setting, there are many that are way, way worse...

[Sir Lawrence]

Someday when McCormick comes down we'll have made a real dent.

Amen to that. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

Someday when McCormick comes down we'll have made a real dent.

And the Beehive while they are at it.

There are two Freeways?

My parents just went though a bunch of old pictures and distributed them to the "right" kids.  There were several pictures of my dorm room from Sophomore year (West!) and this map was prominently featured on the wall.  It reminded me of this thread.
