You no doubt heard the phrase "You can't get there from here." Several weeks ago, the Boston Globe carried an article on the problems of getting around certain areas of Boston. One way streets compound the challenges of narrow streets and endless traffic. While tourists are confused for a short time, transportation difficulties area a daily issue for emergency response. But there is a lighter side to these difficulties. I would like to point out the work of Andy Woodruff, a Cambridge MA based cartographer. His imaginative work and creative projections are literally works of art. And fun. Look at his blog and artistic approach to getting around Boston and while you're there, be sure to check out the other blogs and examples of GIS art - especially his heart-shaped projection of the globe for Valentine's Day.
