OT: Literary Map of Manhattan
This is not at all connected to Milliways, but given the data stored in the muns' collective minds and in our libraries, I think it's of note.
The NY Times Book Review is putting together a literary map of Manhattan. (Sorry, folks, not TV, film or comics, so alas we can't place Ghostbusters Central there.) The map will indicate the homes, hangouts and offices of characters in novels, short stories and poems.
And they need our help. See below for the article announcing this project, and where to send information by e-mail and snail mail.

The deadline for submissions is May 11, and the map will be published on paper and online on June 5.
I know that the Dark Tower books are full of Manhattan addresses, so I leave it to the DT folken to thumb yet again through their well-worn copies and find everything we need to get King's version of NY on the map. (And sorry, Eddie Dean, but this map is not of Brooklyn. That may come later, though I don't know if there will be room for AU versions of Co-Op City on it.)
