Presenting... Pandemic Geographic Hike through Email Hell or pay a visit to the Snack Vortex. A while ago we asked Tyee readers to send us a visual map of their new pandemic worlds: the destinations they visit each day, the walking routes, and more. Readers were so creative, mapping everything from their Groundhog Day-like routines to the special places they go to recharge. (And extra kudos to parents and young cartographers for sending in their creations.) Find the full collection of maps in our story below. — Christopher Cheung, Tyee reporter and head cartographer |
