I was the GPS for my Mom on roadtrips! Remember figuring out the grid fondly 🙂
I drove a taxi in the DC area in the late '80s/early '90s, so we had to use map booklets made by the Alexandria Drafting Company. It had a grid system referred by the index of streets in the back. I remember if I ended up in a new County, I'd go to the nearest 7-11 and get a map book from there. Had quite a collection!
I remember a certain dispatcher being fond of saying, "where is that address? ON YOUR MAP, SIR!!"
Lol has Conan name dropped anyone more than Lisa kudrow? Also I don’t think he’s doing it to make himself sound cool, she was just a part of his life at significant times and is a part of stories
Benvenuto a Tiato 🙂
🥺
The closest relation I can make to the Thomas guide is Mapquest any 90s kids remember printing out Mapquest directions ?
I remember when Mapquest came out and you could print out turn by turn directions to take with you in the car. just THAT was a game changer
Investing in crypto now should be the first thought in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be euphoric with the decision you took today…..
I grew up using the back of the phone book with the grid. I was excited when we got mapquest online and could print out the directions! I finally got a smart phone after gps was integrated into phones. Otherwise, I didn't want to spend that kind of money just for a phone. To this day though, I read the directions in the gps app and don't use the map. I want to know the names of the streets I'm looking for and have all that knowledge in front of me.
When I was in high school in the mid-80's I delivered pizza — yes, I was 16, the 'interview" went: "How old are you? Sixteen. Let me ask that again, how old are you? Eighteen. That's what I thought you said." — in Burbank and Glendale, I lived out of that Thomas Guide in my '77 VW Bus.
I was 'weened' in LA as well, and as old as these guys. I started touring as a musician at 16yrs old ( I know, it was a different time then!) and we had NO GPS. The guy in the passenger seat was the Navagator. NO sleeping in that seat! But we made it cross country many, many times using an Atlas and diddnt get lost as much as you would think.
I do remember picking up the first version of what would turn into a GPS, of sorts. Gave you street by street directions in pritned form on the screen, as well as the nearest gas stations. Thats how you learned things like if there is one gas station, the price is higher than an exit with 3 stations that were competing. This still rings true.
One other thing about that time, you actually had to interact with each other. To Talk. Where now on the road on busses, everyone is on their phones, ipods ( I know), iPads, etc. You can spend three weeks on the road and still not know who you were toruing with if you were a hired gun.
Such a different World back then. I do miss it sometimes.
Where's the Clueless Gamer episode at?
FAN corrections: Conan said wedding then Bar mitzvah i win nothing🤣🥳🤩
Damn I never knew that Conan dated Lisa Kudrow.
Could Conan act out the Banshee trailer?!?!
Can you get Kevin Brennan or Brian Kiley or both…??
I remember printing out directions from Mapquest 😂
MapQuest was a lifesaver back in the day. You still would get lost, but you got there eventually. Ha.
1977 Isuzu Opel? A Gemini? Buick? Kadett?
YES! Laminated folding maps & Thomas Guide, baby!
now imagine picking up a friend from LAX without mobile phones
Dont forget Mapquest, the segway to GPS. I used to hand write all the directions from there onto a notepad. This must've been right aftwr Thomas guide. Because I remember some friends still using that
great episode. I'm terrible at directions, The best way that I can get anywhere on my own is to remember landmarks and it's close to my house since I don't drive.
I was walking around the city going from one bar to another with some younger coworkers and they were pulling out their phones just to know where to walk. They didn’t have the map in their head of the streets. Brains are turning to mush.
