In my February 6th post, “Chicago Magazine Names BairdWarner.Com Best for Real Estate Search!“, I mentioned that the “nifty Google Maps mash-up” that Chicago Magazine raved about is provided by MapMuse.com. If you’re thinking of relocating to the Chicago metro area or moving to another area of Chicago that you aren’t too familiar with and there are businesses you’d like to live near, MapMuse is a great tool for mapping your favorite brands.
Below is a MapMuse map of Nordstrom stores in the Chicago metro area showing stores in Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Skokie and two in Loop and Near North areas of Chicago. Click the map to go to the actual MapMuse interactive map.
MapMuse maps hundreds of brands such as FedEx Kinko’s, Wendy’s and Barnes & Noble. It also maps hundreds of interests such as public swimming pools, adult day care centers and private schools.
