This article has a map: http://www.freep.com/article/20131018/BUSINESS06/310180105 http://www.freep.com/article/20131018/BUSINESS06/310180105 I grabbed that address and plugged it into Google Maps, so the pin here is the northern corner: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Mack+%26+St.+Jean%2C+Detroit%2C+MI&data=!1m4!1m3!1d16228!2d-82.980734!3d42.3695785!2m1!1e3!4m15!2m14!1m13!1s0x8824d46395a86267%3A0x1855ad08de3d9a8a!3m8!1m3!1d18983!2d-122.3926051!3d37.7913156!3m2!1i1215!2i1156!4f13.1!4m2!3d42.3791293!4d-82.97854&fid=7 https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Mack+%26+St.+Jean%2C+... Edit: and according to Google Maps, "Indian Village" (home of the developer) is literally the southwestern edge of the area. PS: I know nothing about Detroit, this is all just looking at a map.

Ok, I had the weird experience of looking at the street view map, wanting to move forward and just, out of habit, used the WASD keys and damn if they didn't work just like they "should". Reminded me of the first time I used vi(1) and wanted to move the cursor and went with the rogue(7) keys and that just worked. Games as usability training tools for the win I guess.

  Vi and Rogue were both influenced by the hardware of the old ADM terminals, which had the arrows printed on HJKL.

That map is not quite right. I live not far from there.

For reference, Belle Isle, which is across the street from the southern edge of the project, is a huge park owned by the city. There's deer and stuff living on it. It was recently the subject of a conservative utopian fantasy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_Park http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/15/belle-isle-commonwealth-city-state-detroit_n_2478922.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/15/belle-isle-commonwe...
