This is a map of the New York City area showing the "Most Direct Routes to the New York World's Fair", with a second map on the back showing Manhattan and the location of the World's Fair exhibition itself. The map was distributed by General Motors to promote its "Futurama" exhibit, which like its 1939-1940 predecessor became the most popular exhibit of the entire event, drawing more than 29 million visitors over the course of the Fair. The back panel lists and gives details on 63 attractions in New York, which are identified by numbers on the map.
Folded, the map measures 5"x8", and unfolds to 10"x16". It is in amazing condition, having been tucked inside a GM Futurama brochure (also listed here) - it appears to be unused, and the only condition issue is a diagonal crease across the bottom right corner of the front.

The Badaguan area of Qingdao, China, is a residential area just east of downtown (beginning right around the No. 1 Bathing Beach and going eastward a few kilometers, bordered by Zhongshan Park & Taipingshan Park on the north and the sea on the south). It’s primarily a residential area with beautiful, tree-lined streets. The heart of Badaguan consists of ten streets. “Ba” is the number “eight” in Chinese. “Da” means “big,” and “guan” means “(mountain) passes.” (Keep in mind that Mandarin is a tonal language so, saying “badaguan” differently would have a vastly different meaning.) That being said, I’ll stop with the personal commentary and just transcribe the signage in the area as it states things much better than I can:
Badaguan Scenic Area was built in the first three decades of the 20th century. It is called “Badaguan” as the eight roads in the area were all named after China’s important passes in history (now there are ten roads), namely, Shaoguan Road, Ningwuguan Road, Zijingguan Road, Shanhaiguan Road, Juyongguan Road, Linhuaiguan Road, Zhengyangguan Road, Hanguguan Road, Jiayuguan Road, and Wushengguan Road, which cover several square kilometers of seaside scenic area along the Huiquan and the Taiping Bays. The trees in the area vary from road to road, blending harmoniously with the nearby buildings: crape myrtles along Zhengyangguan Road, cedars along Zijingguan Road, peaches along Shaoguan Road and Chinese flowering crabapples along Ningwuguan Road. Most buildings in “Badaguan” are villas with courtyards, typical of the modern European architectural style, known as “World Architectural Fair,” with famous buildings such as, among others, “Huashilou House” and “Princess House.” The scenic area was listed as a state protected historic site in 1996, and was appraised as “the most beautiful city area of China” in October, 2005.
I’ve lived in China for almost three years now; about two years in Shanghai and one year in Tianjin. Shandong province is the province that’s on the sea between the two cities. (From Shanghai to Tianjin by train is around 5 hours; by plane, 2 hours.) Qingdao, probably the most well-known city in Shandong, is a charming city, to say the least. In my opinion, it’s exceptionally photogenic – with very nice beaches, great architecture, good geography/topography, and terrific food.
Qingdao also happens to be known for the most famous of Chinese beers (Tsingtao), which is actually a company started by the Germans. (For what it’s worth, Chinese beers are quite watery and Tsingtao is somewhat like the Budweiser of Chinese beers. That being said, I’m happy to drink an ice cold Tsingtao on a hot summer day whereas I wouldn’t say the same thing about a Budweiser.
So what to make of Qingdao then? Before colonial powers swept in and started chopping up China piecemeal, Qingdao was basically a sleepy fishing village. During the Ming dynasty, a battery was built here. In 1898, the Germans seized control of Qingdao when two missionaries were killed. (Personally, it seems alarming to me that a country could lose a city because two foreigners happened to be killed – and China sure lost a lot that way during the 19th century. I guess that’s the downside to outmoded military technology; the Europeans and Americans basically plundered China…) At any rate, Qingdao was ceded to the Germans for 99 years, but that didn’t last long, thanks to World War I.
During the 15-20 years that the Germans did have control of the town, they managed to build a handful of churches (still standing) and missionaries, in addition to the aforementioned Qingdao brewery. Because of that, a lot of the European architecture has a heavy German influence and there are still a few random signs of German heritage around town.
From the Germans, Qingdao didn’t land directly with the Chinese. It spent 8 years under Japanese control (1914-1922) before being returned to the Kuomintang (aka General Chiang Kai-Shek’s clan). The Japanese took control once again in 1938 (as they swept through northeast China and across half the country) before losing it for the last time in 1945 at the end of World War II. Since then, it’s been in Chinese hands. (Brief history courtesy of Lonely Planet.)
Contemporary Qingdao certainly makes its way as a tourist destination – and it’s a fine one at that. The population (per my LP from 2011) lists it at 1.73 million. The city has a few areas that are quite appealing to tourists: the Old Town (the heart of the city) off the beach and just east of the railway station downtown, Badaguan (which means “eight passes”) is a hilly area with a lot of nice residential architecture to the east of the Old Town. Other than that, there are a lot of parks, a beer street, churches, and a 40 km. scenic walk (which, obviously, most people do not cover from end to end) along the shore which goes by all of the beaches in the area.
All in all, Qingdao is the type of town that, if you get the chance to visit, I think you would find yourself thinking it would be great to return again and again.
