Urban Lexicon Map Of San Francisco

Reddit user atrubetskoy has been making unopen to pop Urban Dictionary maps lately. I item liked his map of the Bay Area According to Urban Dictionary. In fact I liked it thus much that I stole the idea.

Urban Dictionary is is a crowd-sourced online lexicon of slang words as well as phrases. It too seems to survive a identify where a lot of white middle-class kids become to push clitoris their white, middle-class neighborhood every bit a 'gangsta ghetto'.

The methodology for atrubetskoy' maps is really simple. He but types inwards a metropolis or a neighborhood cite into Urban Dictionary as well as thus adds the Definition he finds to his Urban Dictionary map.

I decided to practise my ain version of atrubetskoy's map amongst Mapbox Studio Classic. Mapbox Studio Classic's CartoCSS allows yous to modify place-names, thus it is a swell agency to re-label a map.

To modify place-name labels inwards Mapbox Studio Classic yous but ask to honour the CartoCSS for the administrative score that yous want to modify (in my illustration this was score type 'city', 'town' as well as 'village'). Then all yous ask to practise is type inwards the place-name yous want to modify as well as its replacement. So to modify 'San Francisco' to 'Tha City' I add,

[name_en='San Francisco'] { 
    text-name: '"Tha City"'; 
}

to the CartoCSS for metropolis labels.

So - hither is my Urban Dictionary Map of San Francisco.
