Sweatmore University Student Creates Campus Map Inspired By NYC Subway Map |

Posted by heypaul on Wed Oct 22 10:46:51 2014 This is an interesting story. Matthew Goldman, 15, a student at the prestigious Sweatmore University combined his fascination with the NYC subway map and Sweatmore's urgent need for a campus map to help Sweatees navigate their campus. Rather than create a new map contoured to the layout of buildings, Matthew convinced the administration to realign the campus to match the current NYC subway map. While this may involve considerable expense in moving the current 23 campus buildings, as well as erecting another 451 buildings and renaming the buildings to correspond to the subway map, it was deemed an outstanding project to get Sweatmore back on the map.Nu Campus Map for Sweatmore U |

But didn't you like how his personal passions occasionally overrode practicality?I also liked that he learned to read by studying the subway map. Think of it, his alphabet was. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,Q,R,S,U |

"I also liked that he learned to read by studying the subway map. Think of it, his alphabet was. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,Q,R,S,U"Well, that is more than some of the people at the MTA can claim. |

Very proper for 15-years-old railfan and dreamer.When I was of his age and much younger, I've spent much time in out of town resort camps. There I also planned routes and sometime mapped then, but they were walking as you guess. |

Did you like the Vagrants? Leslie West played lead guitar with them before forming Mountain. They did great covers of Gimme Some Lovin'Midnight Hours, and Satisfaction. [sorry, just couldn't resist that one :)] |
