With our last day here, I'm a little sad we'll bid goodbye to this Kickstarter campaign. It has been wild, at least for me, to see the kind of appetite people have for their city's history. We still have a way to go to the last stretch goal, Dawn of... (Read More)

We made it! Saint Louis is a go, and if things keep up Toronto's coming next for all the Canucks interested. The only question now is whether we'll get state-wide and multistate maps. $1,500 is a big number, but I think we can do it. Oh, and don't... (Read More)
