The Geography of Darkness

Here is a map of 24hourottawa.

So far it is just the restaurants, but the stores will be up soon as well. As locations get added to the list, I'll add them to the map. Once reviews and photos start going up, I'll start connecting them as well. Perhaps I'll start linking tripadvisor and yelp to the map points.

Obviously, all the places are already on google local, but breaking them out into a 24hour only map is more interesting. I'm already noticing an axis of night front the Market, through Elgin to the Glebe.

Nighthawks at the Diner

A web search revealed that, aside from scrapers, there is no listing for 24 hour businesses and activities in Ottawa. So, let's make one. We'll integrate reviews and suggestions as we go.

After an hour of research, I came up with this little list. I want to add activities, places that are better during the stillest hour and maybe even meet ups for those of us nocturnals with nights off.

But here's the second revised list (reviews to come):
