A 1914 Sanborn map detail showing an agglomeration of buildings at a corner in Scotia, New York, which include a fruit stand, Chinese laundry, lunch room, baked goods, flour storage, bakery, and "port oven."
Man, this place has *everything*

A very small detail from a 1905 map, showing an alley drawn through the middle of the picture, and on the corner of a lot against the alley, a yellow rectangular box marked "HENS."
Okay, but can Waze tell you where the henhouses are? Don't think so.

Martin Behaim's Erdapfel: the world's oldest surviving globe, made in 1492.
The Americas don't appear. Earth's circumference is calculated 11,000 km too small. This is what Columbus was working with when he planned his westward route.

Two felt lavender bags with an applique pansy design and a ribbon hanging loop. They are placed on a china dish, the colours matching the felt used
All the places in the hearts have the word 'love' in them, apart from the central one. I was amazed to find an actual place called Hearts Delight!
Today, I'm combining #FebruArty2026 #feel and #ValentinesDay. The heart-shaped lavender bags feel very soft as they're made with felt, and the place names on the card were specifically chosen for today. #myowndesigns #handmade #homegrownlavender #reusing #oldmaps

Great article, the best in Good News stories. Brain training is amazing!
The map stories are so interesting. And Frankie the Flamingo finds freedom, what a great adventure!
Thank you for wonderful alternatives when MSM news is so disturbing.
