Google Maps API Progress
Wow! You can really do a lot with Google's map API. I'm not a natural coder so I take a long time to troubleshoot my own mistakes, but so far, even slow progress has been very rewarding. Notice the neighborhood boundary. I had to come up with points of latitude and longitude for each corner. We should think about all the different uses for the map. A neighborhood site based around a map makes a lot of sense to me. If we are nothing else, we are a spot on the map. I'd like to link the blog stories to the map somehow, but I'm not sure how that will work. Remember Mike Hawk's cat story? I could chart the cat's path around the 'hood in the map to illustrate the story. Chad Snoke's panoramas could be shown as points of interest on the map. What about historical photos and stories. Before and after pictures by address? There's so much that could be done.
