Dead Venues Map
Or, “How I Spent The Better Part Of My Weekend”. I spent most of the day yesterday experimenting with the Google Maps API for the Dead Venues project. There’s a lot of power behind this API and it’s a lot of fun to work with. Despite some holes in the Baltimore street view data, this will be a great interactive feature for the site. By clicking a venue marker on the map, it will display a present day street view (where available) and cross link to related articles in the (new) Dead Venues Blog.
