Soprano Land

 The Sopranos is having a bit of a moment with the recent HBO documentary about David Chase. Illustrator Robert Sikoryak made a nice map to orient fans to the New Jersey landscape of the show.

You can click above to see a larger version. I've only watched bits of the show so I can't comment too much on the plot elements. I can say that having traveled through this area many times, the intro really captures the North Jersey feel with landmarks like the Wilson's Carpet lumberjack statue under the Pulaski Skyway, Satriale's Pork Store,

and the "Drive Safely" gas tank, not shown on the map.

The legend is helpful for determining types or murder as well as other important activities like Ziti dumping and unmentionable sniffing.

Tony and Carmela's house is shown with its close proximity to the woods where Mickey Palmice was shot and to the Fountains of Wayne, famous for inspiring a band's name.

There's lots more to see on the map and other excellent illustrations on Sikoryak's web site.
