I've lived in Kraków for 4 years and thought I knew it. Then I mapped every street I've walked: 2%. 😹

So I built Untrod, an iPhone app that colours in every street you walk.

Solo project, beta just opened. Want to try it?

Durand Union Station (b.1903/5)
Durand, Shiawassee County Michigan.

Durand was founded around railroads in 1886 and it quickly became one of the largest transit hubs in the Midwest.

The new station was built in 1903, but it quickly caught fire and had to be rebuilt in 1905.
