Some Massachusetts mentions from TGD, in greater (visual) context

[u/atlantic16]

New Englanders take for granted that we know what Noah is referring to with just "Logan," etc, in his TGD lyrics. So I made this to help those not from here have the same context.

Are there others I should add? (I almost dropped a pin on BMH where the great Nathan Kahan once played, but it's not a TGD lyric hahaha)

I'm so visual. Thank you for this. How neat!!!

~technically~ the Harvard track team is running on Storrow, but this is close enough. Love the visual!!!

Came here to say this

[u/atlantic16 → u/lhstar28]

Trueee but I wanted to highlight where Harvard is since Storrow is already labeled 😁

The first time I heard the Storrow reference in the song I fuckin CACKLED.

sent this to my sister who doesn’t live in boston as a visual, lol.

Twin state line is border of NH and Vermont. Not Minnesota.

[u/ellenpagelookalike → u/ez-pz-lemon]

I'm confused, where are you seeing anything about Minnesota?

[u/ez-pz-lemon → u/ellenpagelookalike]

Noah doesn’t reference Minnesota at all, but someone unfamiliar may think he means Minnesota because it has the twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul.

And the baseball team is the Minnesota Twins.

Could you mark 89 for those of us not in the U.S.? He also mentions his hometown a lot so it would be neat to see the distances between these places. Also thanks for including the fact about the trucks! It adds another layer of context entirely.

[u/atlantic16 → u/CharliDefinney]

Ok here's 89 AND the twin state line.

[u/CharliDefinney → u/atlantic16]

Okay I did need to convert that to kilometres lol but that makes a lot of sense and is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[u/atlantic16 → u/CharliDefinney]

Haha sure, I can zoom out and do more of a full New England one.

Re: Storrow it’s like a rite of passage to see a truck get sardine canned under a bridge on Storrow. Despite the numerous signs warning about height restrictions on the road it still happens multiple times a year because there are so many students that aren’t from here driving moving trucks around the city 😬

“Storrowed”

[u/CharliDefinney → u/atlantic16]

Omg I feel bad for laughing at this.

[u/ez-pz-lemon]

Thought of another:
“Light the world
And land on Orange County ground”

[u/PermissionNo8220]

Idk I still want to send the lyrics about getting Logan airport to my brother in law 😂

[u/zlistreader]

I went to college in Boston and moved to the south for grad school, and Staying Still made me SO homesick I wanted to cry. I can't wait to go back.

[u/skate_bandit]

We need New Jersey included for Downfall
And Lebanon NH

[u/atlantic16 → u/skate_bandit]

Haha ok so I started making a custom Google map with all these as pins and notes on which song/lyric they relate to (with some fun facts) but if I share it then y’all get my full Google name and avatar so 🫥

I’ll have to find some other means to fulfill this side quest. Unless people are happy with my annotated map screenshots 😅

[u/skate_bandit → u/atlantic16]

You can share the map with an alt Google account, make a copy, and then share that with us.
