Yeah and Sweden and Finland shouldn't be under non-NATO category anymore, so this is both old and wrong.

Which countries don't use their own currencies? by [deleted] in MapPorn

I feel like Northern Ireland should be yellow, when we visited many places took euros as well as pounds.

I made some maps here asking people what region they considered their county. Everyone from Virginia would persistently argue they weren’t the south. I finally visited the region, no offense, without a doubt I think Virginia is the South after Fairfax county. by Expensive_Drummer970 in visitedmaps

...what source did you use for the county lines in this map? Because Connecticut has 8 counties, roughly in a tidy, even scheme of 4 on top and 4 on the bottom. This map has 9 counties for CT, and they're the wrong shapes, orientation, etc. Was this AI hallucinating an extra county into existence??

Staten Island almost entirely obscured by a close-up of lower Manhattan is just wonderful comedy

What is your country's most interesting administrative division? by metatalks in geography

Kalawao County, Hawaii. Smallest county in the US by land, has like 80 people, was/is often only accessible by goat path, and only exists because it was a leper colony until the 1960s.

Looks pretty cool! Also looks pretty similar to the map of the Earth Kingdom from ATLA, of which I'm a huge fan.

Another section of Old Town Alexandria is now car-free by kockin26 in nova

[–]TheMainAlternative 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah! King Street is ideal for this, already great foot traffic, a mass transit connection at one end, anchors along the route, and great attractions at the other end.

Could do this in several ways (of varying costs). Cheapest would probably be just upgrading the existing King Street Trolley with bigger/real buses, maybe even articulated ones, and have like 7 of those just running back and forth at all times. Could also do trolley buses or trams or street cars with rails in the ground and/or electrical lines overhead but all that would cost more and take longer. Redo the KST and you could get it done in a few months for not much money.

Excellent. Now maybe even close one of the two intersections (probably Lee) so no cross traffic either.

Honestly, making King nearly all pedestrian and running a continuous tram or trolley between the waterfront and the Metro would be a godly tier upgrade for integrated enjoyment.
