Brittnay's Blog for "The Digital Past"

I found PhilaPlace to be really awesome, because it’s a huge interactive map!  Although it’s only a map of Philadelphia, I really like how they divided the map into all the different neighborhoods so that people are able to learn about specific ones.   I also like the fact that the map is made to look old; I think that appealed to me a lot.  I found it really interesting to learn the history of specific neighborhoods (and because it’s Philadelphia, there’s A LOT of history granted it was a significant city) especially knowing some trivial facts that I did not know before.
