FORT WORTH – Over the summer, some of the professors at the TCU Center for Urban Studies set out to try all of the taco restaurants in Fort Worth.
When they realized that they didn't know how many there were, Sean Crotty decided to make it easier: He mapped them.
"I'm a geography professor so building maps is one of the things I like to do," Crotty said. "It was a nerdy side project, really.”
One night, Crotty sat down and wrote the code to scrape review sites like Yelp and Google Maps. After that, he compiled the findings on a map.
