by According to Wikipedia, residents of the neighborhood of Fremont in Seattle, Washington, have been referring to it as “The Center of the Universe” for nearly four decades. There even stands a colorful sign post in the middle of an intersection which displays directions to the North Pole, Taiwan, and Rio de Janeiro. In honor of the kooky crossing, location-based social networking service Gowalla has given the spot its very own icon.
JESS3 founder and CEO Jesse Thomas says of the cool, super-local custom icon: “this is the kind of stuff that makes independent services more exciting than the Googles of the world.”
