The term "Megalopolis" was a tag given in 1961 to the roughly 500 mile densely populated corridor on the eastern seaboard of the United States which runs from Boston to Washington. Comprised of cities and commuter communities, booming population and resulting sprawl created a massive continuous suburban landscape. Towns and once-isolated farming communities became part of the metropolis, creating the massive Megalopolis, a single "place". Its very much a new place, made of many new things, and some very old and mysterious things. Its where I live, and I am fascinated by its ecological and environmental detail, its history, its people, and its future. Its what this blog is about.
