You're just pure Evil. Maybe even E.L.o.L.-Evil.
When I saw this page appear, I soared trough the sky with high expectations, only to crash down in the ocean of reality :(

I am Evil, but it will be here eventually. There's just a few last chunks missing in the wiki, and once they are there, the map goes up.

Oh man, thanks for working on this KC (and anyone else who may have helped)! I'm a huge fan of stories that provide a map and now that your story is one of those, I think my head is going to explode!

I would like to add Cain General Hospital to the map, but my computer skills are very limited to typing fast. Can someone put it up, or show me how?

I'll add it to the Google map. I had to disable public editing, as someone had gone in a moved everything around.

i'm guessing Cain General Hospital is a made up name

the location of the hospital i think is being described is on North Vermont Avenue, which is about 3 miles NW of the tower

If Angel, Saul or Burt, took the time to look in the phone book, would Raydon Labs be listed? Is in in Einglewoods? Where does Burt live? I suspect that it is on the Eastern side of Engelwoods.

Kc somewhat answered that question before. The way you pose it is different than it has been asked previously (Originally we were asking about the importance of the house being on the map at all, not if it should be Kelly's house), but it appears that the reason it shows as Tommy's house was to give proximity for the breakout. I'm linking to onslaught's initial question, and if you scroll down you'll see my response, followed by Kc's two posts later. (http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?1178-We-re-Alive-MAP&p=7087&viewfull=1#post7087)

Could it be a snafu? Yep. But it might still just be for the effect.

It isn't a real place, but there are very close elements of reality...

Kc, I think, like myself, he just wanted to know how close it is to the arena and the tower because it is said to be pretty close to the tower. Real or not in reality, it exists in WA.

Look up LA General Hospital ;)

You made my life much easier. I went through a ton, looking for a hospital in the shape of a cross.

Oh, sorry, I should have also said the google map is updated.
Also, I know it's creative license, but for anyone else that looks, the helicopter landing pad is NOT on the top of the hospital building that looks like a cross. It's just a little south of that.

I love the map which is why I hate to nitpick but I just wanted to mention that it reads the location of Tommy's House but in the story isn't it actually Kelly's House? Sorry to be a picky little weiner. :S

Upon a relisten to chapter 4 I believe it was, Tommy says he's at Kelly's house in Gardena. So it's not a mix up on the map. Tommy's house is near the Tower and Kelly's house is near Saul's house and Eastern Bay.

When they set out to the water pumping station and the trackers they mention that they are to the south, but he map shows it to the north.

South of what?

I'm sorry, South of the Tower. Once the trackers' monitor is activated, Datu says that some of the zombies are heading south and two others are heading east. He later says that the pumping station is also south. This was right after they tagged the zombies and returned to the Tower.

Ah, yes. The pumping station is actually south west (according to the map). I think you're getting confused with The Water Works, which is to the north.

That's what I originally thought, too. But Datu also refers to the water works as the pumping station. Also, I assumed the location labeled as the Pumping Station on the map actually refers to the Refueling Station.

Gonna have to ask for a chapter/timecode to help get to the bottom of this.

A direction is first mentioned in a conversation starting in Chapter 7 Part 3 at 9:30 (Datu mentions the directions at around 10:05) and again in Chapter 8 part 2 at around 4:23.

It's possible that the map is wrong. If you find another reference to either location being somewhere other than "south of the tower," then perhaps it needs updating. It's also possible that it was an oversight in the writing process, or misread dialogue that was never corrected. Good catch, I don't have an answer.

I remember Tommy mentioning where Kelly house was but when was the location of Tommy's house mentioned?
