Wow, y'all liked that one even more. Cool! Let's see what you say to this shirt... Projected to be a #15 seed, this design... well, it ain't exactly reinventing the wheel. But, something tells me this might be an upset special brewing. Keep your eyes on this low seed come tournament time, it might just surprise you. There will be 32 designs in this year's T-Shirt Tournament! I'm thinking the designs will be unveiled this Sunday. Make sure you clear your social calendar and stay home for this one! (Actually, stay home anyway if you can. I don't know if you've heard about this, but there's a pandemic happening apparently?) #Muncie #ShopMuncie #ShopSmall #ShopLocal #KeepMuncieGoing #MuncieProud https://ift.tt/2vSN3lJ

Y'all responded WAY better to the last design than I expected. So, let me show you one of the t-shirts that's bound to make a deep run in our T-Shirt Tournament. As a treat. :) Our "Weirder Cheaper" design is projected as a 4-5 seed. Tournament coming SOON, design and seeding unveil sooner -- hoping to have a whopping 32ish designs entered.... #ShopLocal #ShopMuncie #ShopSmall #Muncie https://ift.tt/3bt8g4D

Hey, remember before the world ended and we teased our 2nd Annual T-Shirt Tournament? We're still doing it, we're just running behind (adjusting to the "new normal" has been... well, an adventure of sorts) so we decided to give you another teaser. This one is looking like a 13 or 14 seed, to give you an idea what we've got in the wings. "New Normal" makes my brain tired. Tournament coming SOON. #ShopMuncie #ShopSmall #MuncieProud #Muncie #muncieindiana https://ift.tt/3dwCGF1

Crazy how fast things are changing. With Ohio, Illinois and two neighboring counties shutting down, we know what’s coming. Today we moved our operations out of the shop and into our home. We did this before any shutdown order to ensure we didn’t get stuck at home without our basic equipment so we can keep working. Even though we fully intend to be back in the shop when this weirdness is over, it was a lot harder of a moment than I expected to move out and lock up today. For almost two years we’ve been fighting tooth and nail to build and to keep the doors open to what may be our city’s strangest or at least most improbable business. There’ve been times when we’ve been minutes from having to close our for good. Thus far we’ve always fought through it and figured out something or gotten saved by a minor miracle. We’re used to being on the ropes. But, we’ve always braced ourself with an odd mantra: “we started this in a garage, worst case scenario we go back there.” It was always equal parts comfort (not the end of the world) and motivation (we didn’t want to lose the work or momentum but we also sure as hell didn’t want to run this out of a garage again). It was always a half-joke, too... gallows humor of a sort. And yet, now we’re back to running this out of the garage... it’s a bitter moment. Raw. It means we’ve met what was (however jocularly) our “worst case scenario” for the biz. It also makes the whole covid thing — and the fact that it’s gonna get much worse before it gets better — that much more real, and scary on several levels. We’re still accepting orders via website, but fulfillment of physical orders is paused until isolation ends. We also sell gift cards online. HOWEVER! We are still available for work, including digital & web #mapping, graphic design and infographics, biz & non-profit branding identity, web dev, & more! Local small biz: WE BARTER. We can also do custom maps & historic restores up to digital proof. We’re def pivoting a bit, we have to... I mean, we’re working out of a damn garage! Catch you on the flip side, shop. We’ll be back. Promise. #covid #covid_19 #Muncie #smallbiz #shopMuncie #isolation #shopSmall #shoplocal https://ift.tt/2xWf38w

I had an absolutely DELICIOUS sandwich for lunch today via carry out from @twin_archer_brewpub, their burger of the day, a Reuben burger. I highly recommend grabbing one of these next time they run it. Super important to keep supporting your local restaurants and shoppes during this mess as you can, and give as big of tips and you can muster... and we’ll all get through this together. #EatMuncie #DrinkMuncie #shopMuncie #MuncieProud https://ift.tt/3df7HgM

We had a very open and forthright all-hands meeting today and together decided that we are going closing our shop to public visitors for a bit due to the COVID-19 concerns. Even though it's going to take a LOT of thinking to figure out how to not lay off Leo and how to even survive this as a business, we simply have too many at-risk people in our direct networks to risk taking the virus home. That doesn't mean that we aren't working and aren't still available for all your #map, #art and #Muncie needs.... and it certainly doesn't mean we aren't desperate for your support! You can get in touch with us any way we have and we will bend over backwards to figure out how to serve your needs.... 1) DM our page 2) email [email protected] 3) visit our web shoppe munciemap.com 4) call or text us 765.273.8627 5) hit us on instagram @munciemap 6) send us a letter even - 111 E. Adams, Muncie IN 47305 We will do what it takes to make buying from the comfort of your home as easy and quick as possible! We're also gonna be amping our social media because, well, you need the content and I need the outlet. Please folks... be safe, be kind, and let's get through this together. https://ift.tt/33nVCBl

Every business in #Muncie is posting #Covid19 / #coronavirus plans. So, here's ours. 1) We're washing our hands like mofos, and sanitizing constantly. We've got a big pumper thing of sanitizer by our register for anyone who wants to use it. Just please don't bathe with it, that crap is expensive and we have no desire to see your bits! 2) We're sanitizing the main point of public contact in our shop -- our door handle -- multiple times daily. As the weather is warm enough, we will be propping the shop door open to eliminate this contact point altogether. We call this our.... "open door policy," which is also a.... breath of fresh air. (Puns and wordplay are free during the COVID crisis) 3) We've declared the Vulcan salute 🖖 our official means of greeting, replacing handshakes, fist-bumps, or whatever awkward elbow stuff some people are doing. So, avoid contact and in so doing, live long and prosper! 4) We've allowed our interns the ability to complete their internship via telework at their discretion. The platform they've decided to use through a democratic selection process is World of Warcraft, so we'll shortly have a big sale on slayed orcs and goblins and other creatures. 5) If you're sick, STAY HOME. While we appreciate your dedication to helping us stay afloat, we have other ways available to do business... a) you can call or text our shop number at 765.273.8627 b) you can email us at [email protected] c) you can visit our new and constantly improving web shoppe at munciemap.com. d) If you need the face-to-face, we also have a Skype and can arrange that too. e) you can discreetly place large quantities of unmarked bills into our mailbox. f) if you communicate by carrier pigeon, please also send smoke signals so we can extend our open door policy to birds as well g) Our Morse Code skills are rusty, so please avoid using telegraph or shortwave radio to order things. h) Just remember, we can ship our products anywhere in the world, it just might take a while if all our mail and delivery folks get sick. 6) We realize that the next few weeks will be.... interesting. We're going to experience a societal interrupti https://ift.tt/3cVnkd1

What do you think of this one, #Muncie? Have you ever tried to mess with our lovely flock of #CanadaGeese? I wouldn't. ANYHOO, goose aversions aside, it's market test time: Since Fb took polls away from biz pages, we have to do something a little different: we'll make this sticker and magnet if this post gets 75 likes (or other numbers on Fb). Or if you don't like it, don't like it, then we know. #ShopMuncie #ShopLocal #ShopSmall #MuncieGoose #MuncieGeese #GeeseAttack #TheBirds https://ift.tt/2Ub7ClB

Follow @andy4commish! I guess I forgot to mention it on Instagram, though I did on Fb. I’m running for county commission. This is the one announcement I’ll make here for sake of full transparency. #Repost @map.dude with @get_repost ・・・ “Words without action are meaningless.” That’s what I’m telling myself today, on infinite repeat. Why? Because I just filed to run for Delaware County Commissioner District 2 as a Democrat. As of my leaving the clerk’s office, I am unopposed for the primary, and the filing deadline is in ten minutes... and ultimately, that’s why I filed. Our county deserves a choice in November, not an unopposed race. #Muncie #Ididathing #voteforme https://ift.tt/2OQxJfw

Bella says that the wimpy snowstorm is NO REASON to not visit the shop and give her treats. She's got a "tip jar" by the register of delicious doggie cookies provided by Sea Salt and Cinnamon, so you can reward her for her stellar customer service. #Bella2020 #MoreTreats #GoodGirl https://ift.tt/2tUj5N4
