Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

oh, to live in the GLEEB

There is an embedded Yahoo Map in Flickr.
Today when mapping some photos, I noticed it comes up with the new thing, which is to have neighbourhoods shown on maps. It shows neighbourhoods as coloured areas with names in all-caps um, dark red? burgundy?

However, for the centre of the city the neighbourhoods are, as far as I can tell, made up, consisting of "Somerset" (encompassing almost all the central area), "Bank Street", and the sci-fi sounding "The Core".



Isn't the whole central area just Centretown?

The rest looks ok (I am no expert on neighbourhoods and boundaries), with the amusing mis-spelling of "Gleeb" for The Glebe.
