Frasier was Photoshopped into a bookstore on Google Maps, and it's perfect

McNally Jackson, an independent bookstore chain in New York City noticed that photos of their Williamsburg location were being altered on Google Maps. The alteration being: Dr. Frasier Crane, the popular character from the hit sitcom Frasier, was being Photoshopped into the bookstore's images.

"Somebody is photoshopping Dr. Frasier Crane into our Williamsburg store on Google Maps and honestly that’s fine," McNally Jackson tweeted on Monday.

The bookstore first realized their photos had been doctored — no pun intended — while trying to resolve some issues they were having with Google Maps this week. And, apparently they've been around for quite some time.

"Based on what’s in the window, it’s from very early on, when we first opened," Sam from McNally Jackson's Williamsburg location said via Twitter DM.

The photo featuring Dr. Crane was added to Google Maps in February 2018 by a user named Stephen Trask — which we're assuming may be an alias, considering Stephen Trask is a known musician.

Though it doesn't appear that the bookstore has any inkling as to why someone would want to Photoshop its Google Maps pics, it seems that they're very cool with the new Dr. Crane additions.

"I was honestly impressed with the quality of the Photoshop — Frasier is behind the letters in the window, and appropriately fuzzed out," said Sam. "This person took some time!"

Who wouldn't be happy to have the great Seattle radio talk show host and psychologist gracing their book shop? And we're sure Dr. Crane himself would be honored by this homage.
