chicago is on a grid system and they are all on harlem avenue.
Yeah, but, why? Not the grid, although that'd be a funny answer, why only on Harlem ave?
harlem is basically retail end to end. its got a nice location in that all the el trains tend to extend that far west and its not to far into the city enough to attract suburban folks.
In spite of their highly visible Christian facade, I suspect it is secretly run by witches and you've identified the main ley-line through the area.
I imagine hobby lobby, with their illegal artifact collecting, is a Christian sect which does believe in magic and the power of other religions. They use Christian geomancy to find the holy Spirit without identifying it as a ley line.
Hard to say, but smuggling artifacts is probably involved. They’re big fans.
A network of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.
These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation.
they're building a particle accelerator. the HLC.
They're smashing a bunch of decor together at very high energies hoping to discover a new fundamental holiday to capitalize on.
i thought it was the hobby lobby orbital mass driver
Someone check to see if HL has purchased tunnel boring equipment recently
One time Hobby Lobby bought part of the Epic of Gilgamesh that had previously gone missing to display at a Christian convention or some shit
Locations are determined by a person whose title I cannot remember. They balance a lot of issues, including alcoholism. They kind of punted....
There must be a lot of Hobby Lobbyists in the area.
Harlem Avenue is a long-ass street
I mean don't the Americans have a lot of really long streets all full of housing? Also note the one closed permanently being off the line.
While that is true, there are 2 things to unpack here: 1. Typically housing is zoned in different locations to businesses so this has no correlation. 2. This map is so big that none of those stores are actually in Chicago. They are all in the suburbs and it would literally take you 1.5 - 3 hours to get from the southern most one to the northern most one. They're all a lot farther apart than you may realize.
I was wondering how they could possibly need that many Hobby Lobbies in one city
Serves them right.
Swerves
None I'm aware of. Certainly not in Chicago, lived there a couple of years. There's a half-mile straight run of houses in my neighborhood back home, but that's unusual and only because it was originally an airstrip.
A long, straight road like that is going to be zoned commercial, no houses at all. Flip that around and a Hobby Lobby can't be in a residential zone.
