Twenty-Four Dollar Island

People who live or work in Lower Manhattan or who visit here usually learn about it from guide books or websites. Information in guide books is often stale, not updated, and organized in linear structure. Websites about Lower Manhattan are frequently corporate, or city-run. The goal of this project is to create free, complete, up-to-date and reliable material about Lower Manhattan and to give everybody the chance to share their stories, their histories, or tourist information.

Anyone can add information about museums, communities, schools or news about the rebuilding process. You can add stories of personal encounters, information about inexpensive places to sleep, reflections on local political events, hidden sites, images and stories of demonstrations, local histories or narratives of your experiences in Lower Manhattan. In a few simple steps you can contribute to one of the maps and tell your friends.
