Humans invented perfectly reasonable, and quick to read numbers, but style guides actively promote innumeracy by forcing you to spell out numbers. Not on this blog. We also avoid non-SI metrics, use military time, and other obvious things, like avoiding dozen, or half, or using proper time units.

Popular times
my team had a (small) hand in helping with this feature. i think it’s one of the neatest things maps has launched this year.
Since introducing the Popular Times feature in Google Search and Maps last year, you’ve been able to check how busy a place typically is at different times of the week. Just in time for the Black Friday swarms, we’re adding a real-time look at how crowded a place is right now, to help you decide where and when to go. Whether you’re rushing to pick up a last minute gift or seeking a lively bar for some festive spirit, check Popular Times for a sneak preview of what to expect when you arrive.

Namesake Brewery
little known fact: i used to run a brewery.
G. Rothfuss Brewery opened in 1880 and closed in 1882. Breweries that are only open for a couple of years like this did not have a long time to produce advertising and collectibles so they tend to be more scarce than breweries with more longevity. As a Pre-Prohibition Brewery, any advertising items or collectibles are likely to be valuable and desirable to collectors as they tend to be hard to find. G. Rothfuss Brewery was located in Springfield, MA, which only had 4 breweries, so there are not many that that were producing breweriana items. Local collectors may pay a small premium over national or general collectors because of a lack of local items.
