The problem with big maps—the Electric Map of Gettysburg, the B.C. Challenger Map—is that they’re exceedingly difficult to move when the time comes. Betsy Mason*at All Over the Map reports*that this is now the situation at the*Boston Globe: since 1978 their headquarters*has*been the home of an 18-by-12-foot, four-ton marble map of New England that had originally been commissioned for*the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in 1953. But now the cash-strapped*Globe is moving to smaller digs, and there isn’t room for the map. Boston’s a relative hotbed of map activity, so I’m hopeful it can find a home.
