Map stereoptypes city's neighborhoods

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. And now, it's a city of stereotypes. 

Internet map makers released a stereotypical breakdown of Chicago Tuesday, and the results to some Chicagoans probably appear hit-or-miss.

For one, things aren't quite to scale. Wrigleyville--described as "Cursed by the Billy Goat since 1908"--appears to be at least four times as large as the Loop. Also, there's a glaring omission of a couple places, notably most of the West and South Sides of the city. The map doesn't seem to worry about political correctness when it comes to calling out certain parts of the city for its demographics. 

But, the results are interesting. It's true Goose Island is neither an island nor home to a beer company, and the map does note it really isn't to scale. 

Love it or hate it, the company has prints available for $20. A full scale version can be found here.
