i often look up small, nowhere towns on wikipedia. it's a thrill to try to glimpse into the lives of people there. i might, if further intrigued, then look them up in google maps and street view. i spent several hours one day steet viewing my stepfather's family's dairy farm in rural michigan, and the roads, the approaches, to it. it was both familiar--as a kid i'd sometimes spend thanksgiving or christmas day there (it seemed always cold and gray, though not unpleasant)--but also strange and unknown. anyway, really enjoyed your piece. thanks.
Thanks so much for checking this one out and for sharing this. It also fascinates me that we can now check in on the sites of our memories now, either through Google Maps or even live stream feeds.
Part adventure, romance, investigative reporting and even a little twilight zone to boot! Very entertaining. Thanks for the riddling ride to Atlas!
