Document Summary
Mashable is a term used for user-based creative information that"s kind of freeware and open to use. Example: a fast food map of the us. In terms of us, the king is mcdonald"s followed closely by burger king. This kind of map allows you to see where the propensity lies in terms of mcdonald"s. Answer: breweries are on the outskirts, it"s more densely populated in centre-ville. Comments from professor: don"t get into the trap of saying there is a high density of this (referring to whatever is being mapped) here, when often its the population density that explains the pattern. Professor: it has a lot to do with zoning as well. In a lot of these areas, the zoning did not allow the breweries. On prince arthur, all of those restaurants have to act as restaurants first and then bars. It doesn"t tell you density, it tells you where housing is available.
