Map Cases, Side Doors, and Stories

@topgold’s maps are in the black case. I HAVE FOND MEMORIES of walking into special places with black catalogue cases. And of taking those same map cases to the front of airline departure lounges where I occasionally received travel upgrades. Simple black catalogue cases often accompany traveling salesmen. When they’re reinforced by high impact plastic ribs, they often serve as a seat at a taxi rank or on a wind-swept aircraft ramp. In a short Audioboo, I shared some thoughts about special places I took my black catalogue cases a lifetime ago. And when I sat down in the reading room with it, I’d pass a knowing glance at a fellow resident whose map case had a story to tell.
