Mr. Plimpton's Revenge

"Mr. Plimpton's Revenge,," an essay told on Google maps, is a magnificent example of web-surface storytelling.

It also reminds me of the long-ago afternoon I spent with George Plimpton at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. That guy got around, which makes the medium of telling a story about him on a Google map all the more brilliant.
