Interesting; I wasn’t aware of that map.

Greetings, I'm looking for folks in the South Jersey (mostly Burlington & Camden counties, but Glouchester and other nearby areas are good too) area who may be active DIY/maker hobbyists, and computer salvage folks, etc. If you're involved in reuse or recycling in the area in any capacity, even art or crafts type stuff I'd love to connect.
InfoAge/Wall is a little too far for me to drive to on a regular basis for swap meets and the like, and I'd like to be able to find some local collaborators who may be interested in various items that could be repurposed for all manner of projects rather than having them sit around my place too long.
I thought way back when, MARCH might have had a members location map... but that was.. quite a while ago. Not sure if such a thing still exists.
thanks, Michael S.
Well, my post is less about a map but more about an "is anybody interested in X, Y, or Z who is down here?" That being said, with a map it's really a matter of "I'm in the X neighborhood... near major streets J and Q... or in zipcode 90210" People can give as much or as little info as they want for whatever the purpose is. It was probably just one of these points-on-google-maps type thing. You don't have to give your real name, you don't have to give your exact location, heck, you can even give a fake location 5 miles from where you actually are... that's all up to you. Mainly I'm just trying to find some like minded local folks.
