Yet more mapesque entries. A few weeks ago Spring and I were driving around.
Okay, I was driving, Spring was passengering. She was also looking at a map
of Florida I had in the car, concentrating on the section for South Florida
(which consists of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and aaaaaallll the Palm Beaches, to
mimic nearly all the radion and television stations down here) and right
there, in Pompano Beach, is Storyland.
“Storyland?” I asked. I've lived down here for 22 years now, and I've
never heard of the place.
“Storyland,” she said, pointing to the map. “See?” She held the map to
where I could see it. At the next red light, I took a look.
“Yup. Storyland.”
So it's been in the back of our minds for some time now. I quickly checked
the map in question just now to remember the name (“Toy—something or
other?” “Um, … Storyplace?”) and one quick Google
search later, and yes, it did
exist. Neat!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
