April/May '23 Lite Challenge: Map a historical portion of your hometown.

[Henkmet]

I am sure that as long as the location is considered to be a part of the town, it would be okay to work with. I am considering doing a map of the beach in my hometown area where the highway department, in their infinite wisdom, decided to use dynamite to blow up a dead beached whale back in 1970. While nobody was hurt, a chunk of falling blubber after the explosion caved in the roof of a car, and some chunks landed as far as a quarter mile away. The lesson to be learned here is that the highway department might not have been the best people to handle the situation.

I'm sure the issue has been paved over by now.

Ironically, the location has been turned into a memorial park to commemorate the incident. Even more ironically, there was an explosive expert on site when it happened that said they didn't need a half ton of dynamite to accomplish the job and that they were using way too much. Even more ironic than that, it was his car that got crushed by flying blubber. Go figure.

Ahhh, Irony is such a wonderful thing!
