troubleOkay! So, I spent some time this evening (between chatting on twitter about "student issues" and making yummy-smelling vegetarian sloppy joes [which are still cooking]) plotting a map with the homes of the students that attended the Halifax School for the Blind in 1873.
Description: Map of Nova Scotia with several settlements highlighted with blue pointers. The data is recreated in a table below.
The map is also available interactively (somewhat) on Google Maps.
My goal is to plot out the distances that students came from over time.
I'm mostly doing this out of curiosity, I admit. I don't think the information I'm gathering is necessarily going to be terribly useful to what I'm going to end up writing, but it may be, and I'd hate to have to recreate it from notes later.
Plus it looks cool. *grin*
