Midtown Map Magnets
Description: A clean white-on-black street map graphic focused on Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia. The artwork uses labeled roads, a detailed local street network, and bold place-name typography. The search focus stays on this specific area and its local identity rather than generic map keywords.
Description: Planning for the Metro Purple Line Extension began in earnest in 2010. Construction of the Metro Purple Line Extension began in 2014. I walked (above ground) along its route, exploring the line's surroundings for my series, "Nobody Drives in LA" in 2013. https://ericbrightwell.com/2013/08/29/exploring-the-planned-course-of-the-metro-purple-line-extension-block-by-block-land-of-sunshine-kcet/
Description: Hancock Park is a neighborhood in Los Angeles's Midtown region. Although primarily composed of single-family homes, Rossmore Avenue is home to a charming section of older, mid-rise apartment buildings. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2015. https://ericbrightwell.com/2015/05/28/california-fools-gold-exploring-hancock-park/
Description: Wilshire Center is one of those somewhat vague sub-regions of Midtown Los Angeles defined around Wilshire Boulevard -- along the lines of Mid-Wilshire or Mid-City. There are, nevertheless, LADOT signs posted at what one would assume to be its borders -- although the northernmost extend into what is generally regarded to be East Hollywood. This, then, is my compromise and an attempt at a more sane definition, which includes Koreatown and Little Bangladesh, and areas otherwise undesignated to the east, west, and north.
