The ABC’s of New York
You’ve heard of Alphabet City — now meet Alphabet State.
Using Google aerial maps, a British researcher has selected Empire State images that make up all 26 letters of the alphabet.
Alphabet State was created by Rachel Young, 25, after she was hit by a car in February, injuring her shoulder, leg and spine.
Young, who was laid up in her home in Ossett, England, read about Australian graphic designer Rhett Dashwood, who created a Google map alphabet by using satellite photos of buildings and natural features.
It took him six months.
“I thought I can do better than that,” Young recalled.
It took her just three days to find images of Britain representing all 26 letters.
Her alphabet was a big hit — and her employer, a news agency, suggested she do the same for New York.
“It was more challenging since I’ve never been there,” Young said. But it still took her just five days.
