Mapping Main Street is a collaborative documentary project that aims to document the more than 10,000 Main Streets in the entire USA. It’s very interesting to see the differences between all of the Main Streets — some look pretty normal and average while others look completely abandoned. Maybe Main Street is an appropriate metaphor for politicians to use when describing the US.
The project is just getting underway and currently they seem to only have photos of Main Streets in the Midwest, so if you’d like to help them out, submit your own Main Street photos (I know some readers here have photos of Main Street in Flushing, NY) and see if it makes it into the project map.
This project reminds me of all of the streets in the USA named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
