Bonus credit for the little icons, like having the sign for “Restaurant” over Titus. 🙂 Update: Some more links on the background history of the map:

Oh, now this is too cool! You can wander all over, seeing relationships. Gertude is an intersection station for strong and difficult women and mothers. Hee!
Hmmm – this seems somewhat derivative of Simon Patterson’s “The Great Bear”: http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/history/patterson.htm
