One of the web assignments I decided to do was the Google Maps Story for three stars.The basic premise of the assignment was to, “Use Google Maps to tell a story of historical or literary figure”. I did not follow the prompt exactly, and rather than tell the story of a historical or literary figure, I chose to tell the story told by Old Crow Medicine Show with their song “Whagon Wheel”.

You can view the lyrics here, but the song tells the story of a man fleeing the cold “up in New England” and heading towards his lady in Raleigh North Carolina. When creating the map, I used lyrics from the song that referenced each particular city.
