Share my Magazine and Coffee Shop Maps

Two years ago, I wrote about a wish-list of 9 magazine shops to visit in Europe that I’d collected from the stockist list for Robida magazine.

The was a really helpful list: it led us to visit both Edicola 518 and Frab’s while we were in Italy last year. I aspire to visit the other seven.

Four years ago I wrote about GeoJSON Collectibles:

I like the idea of GeoJSON Collectibles: digital artifacts that can be shared around like we used to share cassette tapes, with no websites or apps or dependencies on proprietary formats or services required. You can take my GeoJSON, and turn it into your GeoJSON, adding your own route variations and annotations.

Gluing those two ideas together, here’s a collectible GeoJSON file of those 9 magazine shops (see them on a map).

I thought about all of this again because I was reading the Coffee issue of F magazine this afternoon, and found a list of coffee shops in the index that I wanted to be able to “collect” in the same way:

Here’s the GeoJSON file of those coffee shops (and here’s a map).

I’ve been to two of those shops, both in Oslo during our trip there 10 years ago: Fuglen and Tim Wendelboe. Just 11 more to visit.
