More Google map mashups

  • I saw MailboxMap a few months ago; a great mashups that helps you locate USPS mail boxes and post offices, and lists the pickup times. Since I know the details for most of the mail boxes near where I live it was interesting but not immediately useful. However, the other day I in a new part of town and needed a post box with an early pickup. Voila, MailboxMap comes to the rescue!
  • BestParking.com finds daily and monthly parking in Boston, New York or Philadelphia.
  • Walk Score rates neighborhoods for their walk-ability based on proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, schools, libraries, etc. Seems more useful for towns or suburbs than living here in Boston (which rates a near perfect 98).
