A Google Map of Boston Neighborhoods
By cosmo.catalano - 4/1/09 - 11:19 amBecause of its expansion through annexation and land reclamation, and because of the vast differences in size between its neighborhoods, making a web-ready neighborhood map of Boston is extremely difficult. Most online neighborhood maps currently available are simple line drawings or text paste-overs.
I've attempted to solve both these problems by creating a neighborhood map of Boston using Google Maps. It overlays the neighborhood boundaries onto Google's existing maps, and scales easily in and out.
Nametag Project Needs Volunteers at Fenway
By Abby - 7/6/07 - 5:08 pmThis is something I got from Joseph Porcelli in Jamaica Plain. He's the organizer for the Nametag Project:
Dear Friends,
Nametag Day at Fenway Park will be on Sunday July, 15. Our goal is to distribute 40,000 nametags to those attending the game and passersby. We are doing this to encourage people to get to know their neighbors, to talk to each other, and because it's a freakin' cool idea, nobody has done it yet, and will be a blast.
