New Walking Tour by Elias W.

We'd like to say "THANK YOU!" to Elias W. for refining DMPA's Walking Tour Map. Elias completed the project as a part of his high school Senior Project. He refined the old PDF by taking new, higher resolution photographs; by researching the sights in the Dundee Pictorial History book, he added/removed information to make the descriptions as accurate as possible; and removing outdated stops and adding new ones, such as the Dodge Street Subway.  

He also created a Google Maps version. He states, "When you look over the Google Maps version, the description is in the upper left-hand corner (click downward arrow next to text to see full explanation). Simply click on the red numbers to see the pictures and information pop-up on the map. You are able to zoom in and out in the bottom right-hand corner and can toggle between a generic map and satellite images by clicking "satellite" in the bottom left."

 

His goal was to provide the community with a tool that would promote exercise and historical knowledge of our wonderful neighborhood. Job well done!
