overplot: Overheard in New York on a Map

This will destroy your day. overmap overplot is a mashup of Overheard in New York and Google Maps. If you haven't been addicted to OiNY, I apologize for introducing you to this cultural candy, but it's an irresistable blog of goofy things that New Yorkers hear from other people's conversations. What I'm getting from the mashup is a sense of the different areas of the city that no tourist guide ever gives: Grand Central is a hotspot of ass conversation, the Village is where you can hear the best hobo talk, etc.
