Map a walking tour of a Houston neighborhood #39

No coding required! This is an experiential project, meaning you'll have to get out of the building. Using the Knight Foundation's excellent StoryMap.js, document a walking tour through your Houston neighborhood.

Houston Chronicle wrote a special report using StoryMap.js.

I think it would be interesting to do audio somehow as well. Something like this: http://www.soundwalk.com. I know that would make it more complicated and give it a technical component, but if someone mapped a tour and wrote down stories at spots, they could be recorded later. Kind of like Remote Houston, but give people the ability to create their own.

@ardouglass it looks like StoryMap.js has a ton of embeds. It might be pretty simple to record on your phone as you go, and upload the recordings to soundcloud for embedding in the storymap. True field notes.

That's awesome. True multimedia is fun and immersive.

At the recent Houston Mobility Sketch City meeting, it came up that: just like Houston has street maps - it would be great to have an app with a map of sidewalks. This project would best be tackled by neighborhoods.
