(Few public works exist,

for the moment)

Radioshack's Fate Part IV: Radioshack Rebirth-a-Palooza and RadioShack's Fate Part III: RadioShack Meets the Makers, Again - I wrote and published these at Barbell Investor and The Motley Fool; some were officially syndicated to Yahoo Finance. This four part series was developed as a stepping stone to a new vision for technology retailing and continues to garner interest.

Previously known as the Location Assessment Tool and Smart Growth Locator, it now has over 50 togglable display layers as well as property search by parcel block and lot, address, and user selected point lookup.
