Final Project!!

Here is a map displaying all the Asian grocery stores in Fairfax County that were listed in the Yellow Pages as of 2008. This includes Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Filipino, Indian and Pakistani. The map is divided up into ten location zones: Alexandria/ Franconia, Springfield, Clifton/ Fairfax Station/ Lorton, Falls Church, Vienna/ Oakton, Fairfax/ Burke, Centreville/ Chantilly, Herndon/ Reston, and Great Falls/ McLean. I created the symbols that make a pattern around the map. The background is an image of natural paper.
Here are the links I used to find the data for this map:
