  1. Where is Roxbury? Here's a map of what contributors to bostonography.com/neighborhoods think so far. twitter.com/bostonography/…
  2. Secessionist rumblings in Brookline, one of Norfolk County's two exclave towns: boston.com/yourtown/news/…
  3. This hand-drawn sphere-like Cambridge/Boston map is so boss. piergustafson.com/map%20samples/… Lots more awesome: piergustafson.com/pages/mapsampl…
  4. Not a ton of unique street names around here! A 5-city 31.3 mile bike route only on streets with a few different names: bostonbiker.org/2011/04/21/who…
  5. @lisa_decanio This sounds like a good cartography idea. The Map of Shame!
  6. @Mitguy01 Thanks. You guys do all travel by flying car at MIT, right?
  7. [Note to self] Map idea: typical mode of transportation for area college kids. BU: B Line? Harvard: taxi? MIT: flying car?
  8. Transit service quality map of Boston jefftk.com/news/2010-11-1… (same author as that rent map). Basically a summary map of tillberg.us/mbta
  9. @GoodyClancyPlan Would be useful, yeah. The T effect doesn't seem to be universal or even distance-based.
  10. @marstall Indeed; would be interesting to see it with more data. Looks like a handful of pricier spots around Edward Everett Sq on this map.
  11. A heat map of Boston area apartment prices ($/bedroom, June 2011). Any surprising hot or cold zones? jefftk.com/news/2011-06-1…
  12. @rgdonohue Hi friend, thanks for your interest in Boston geography. Shall we discuss this more at Dotty's at 4pm? #LegalHappyHourMustBeNice
  13. Exploring Boston's tangled neighborhood boundaries—great map by @giratikanon boston.com/news/local/mas… via @andymboyle
  14. @andymboyle @lisa_decanio Great map! It seems that "various boundaries" is as official as the city wants to get (PDF): hubmaps1.cityofboston.gov/datahub/Galler…
  15. @djdreilinger Gosh, thanks for the shout-out and continued love!
  16. Miscellaneous Boston maps/graphics/art, Pinterest style: pinterest.com/awoodruff/bost… Always looking for more to add!
  17. A 1911 Boston-themed Life magazine issue, complete with weird-looking kid/satirical map cover art! bostonography.com/2012/life-the-…
  18. Nice, Google Maps is becoming hip to our abbreviated street names—Comm Ave & Dot Ave, but no Mass Ave yet. twitter.com/bostonography/…
  19. On your commute home, listen to the tale of poor Charlie—in French. ("Jamaica Plain" sounds nice in French!) learning2share.blogspot.com/2008/11/charli…
