"A city Web site that pinpoints neighborhood boundaries as well as historic and council districts is being promoted as another tool to help buyers find homes in Baltimore. The iMap (http://maps.baltimorecity.gov/imap) allows users to overlay different types of information on the map through an easy-to-use list of check boxes. Users can zoom in and out to find city schools, museums, street intersections and even trash dumps...city officials said they want the site to be a tool for city residents as well as those considering moving to Baltimore."

Thanks to David Gest
