Mapping Main Street is a collaborative documentary media project that creates a new map of the country through a dynamic visualization of stories, data, photos and videos recorded on actual Main Streets. The goal is to document all of the more than 10,000 streets named Main in the United States

I sure wish Berkman would map the economy of the town I live in; Avalon, California. This is a great place to study because it is so self-contained (it is on an island 25 miles off the coast with only a microwave station to link it to the mainland.)

The map would show how a single company with enough power can completely obliterate the ability of anyone else from building any goodwill value. We need someone with credibility to document what is going on here. It stops good people from staying.
