 		There are all sorts of strange things in this map; the problem is that I can't tell what is just the goofy artistic style and what is actually important. Here's some stuff that jumps out at me right away:

1) Why are there two infinity symbols on green and yellow billboards facing each other on the north road out of town, and one green one on the south road?

2) This is a stretch, but if you look at the tree design surrounding the town, there is a group of 8 bumps circling the town from the northwest corner all the way around to below the hollow needle, then a stretch, then three more bumps right close together. This seems to me to be almost a flipped pattern of the graffiti, which had three to the left and 8 around, didn't it?

3) Why is 2nd street like 3 times wider than any other street in town?

4) What the hell is that building/shop south of the EOTW and directly across from the green billboard near the south side of town? Nothing else looks like it and it is not labelled.

5) For that matter, what is the building directly across from the EOTW, between it and Winton Pond Road?

(edit) Also, I notice the file name of the graphic is aglauramapsm.jpg. Why "sm?" Is that for small, indicating there is a larger version?

I'm emailing Sam about some of these questions, or to see if I can find out who drew the map.

No steg in the map as far as I can tell, although it does tell me there is a "Bad Huffman Code" whatever the hell that may mean.

 		some answers
1st look at map again 2nd street is normal. the area by library is 3 times larger and not labels

2nd I believe that there are 7 dots and 3 dots making a total of 10. I mentioned the other smaller blob, but it really looks more like the start and stop point on the spray.

maybe this will solve a couple of your questions for the rest lord knows

tried to print the map in color but it won't let me

That map looks like it was made with some sort of cut/paste program, and those billboards and houses aren't anything more than part of the kit. They kinda look like Sim rejects.

Seems that you're right:

Hi,
I made the local map up on the website. It's not the greatest piece of webart
that's ever been done but hey, I'm an IT guy primarily, not a web designer. I'm
sure others could have done a nicer job but that would have meant the Mayor
having to pay for it. I tried to find some icons etc to use so I wouldn't have
to start from scratch but there's not really too much useful stuff out there on
the web, so it is what it is. It should serve the purpose, in any case. I still
have to get together with the Police Dept. so I can mark all the graffiti
incidents on it for the Mayor to use during the upcoming Press Conference.
Sam


I emailed him back asking about the stuff above, just to see if he coughs up anything interesting on the map.
