Need a way to introduce the entire story map #80

Some way to include this text, or something like it:

This interactive map of Boston renters’ stories tells a tale of evictions and displacement in our increasingly upscale rental market. Who is getting pushed out as rents rise and higher-income earners move in? These stories don’t represent the scale of no-fault evictions in Boston (complete and accurate data on no-fault evictions not possible to represent at this time), but they begin to illuminate the human impact.* Also, this small sampling of stories is just the start of this project - share your story through the form on this site, and we’ll put you on the map.

*Pins on map don’t represent exact addresses of tenants but do denote the streets where stories took place.

we could put a markerless story in front of all the others that just had this text - let me try that and see if it works ok.

I'm not sure how I feel about 2 clicks until you get your first actual story. Maybe we should integrate an abbreviated version of this into the East Boston pin. @pizzavangelist?

that sounds good to me, I agree it's kind of weird to click through the intro and then also click through the neighborhood story for east boston.
