Mankato’s actually not an uninteresting place once you start to explore it with a certain dedication and a sense of purpose. Who else wants to do that with me?
I propose we meet – at no cost to anyone – at the downtown public library at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, July 11th. We’ll find a place where we can comfortably work, and working together, start by touching up some of what’s already on Google Maps for Mankato, and filling in important things that aren’t already listed. We can work until the library closes at eight, if you want – I think you’ll find that you enjoy it.
Bring whatever device(s) you use (or want to use!) to contribute to maps. (If you don’t have any, public computers are available.) If you’ve got digital photos you’d like to share, by all means bring them, even if you don’t yet know how to submit them. If you’ve got places you want to review, make a list (mentally or otherwise), and we’ll work through the process of how to do that.
Basically, consider me a resource – I may be very much a beginner, but I have learned a lot, extremely fast; and I would love to share any of it. Being a local guide’s very rewarding and a lot of fun, and I can only imagine what might be accomplished with more than one of us working together!
Most of all, bring your ideas! However big, however small. What’s Google Maps missing in and around Mankato? What needs to be reviewed? What needs to be corrected? What’s better seen with pictures than with either maps or words?
If three or more people show up for this, the library will let us reserve the conference room for future meet-ups.
And finally – what are your ideas for future meet-ups? We don’t have to do the same thing every time.
If possible, please get in touch with me online to let me know you’re coming. Otherwise, just look for the middle-aged guy with the broad-brimmed, white straw hat sitting by the fountain in the library lobby, then just come over and say “hi”. It really is that simple.
