Here is a link to your responses for the CAREER DAY Search Sheet:

Today you will be creating a GOOGLE MAP of your new home and work area. Please sign-in to GMAIL and then follow Google site to Google Maps. Below is a link to a sample map that I created for myself. It assumes that my first job out of college was teaching here. I located our school, a local apartment, and I saved the route I take to work (use Get Directions and save the result to your map). I also included most of the information that you will have to find for yourself. See my example at the following link:
http://goo.gl/maps/aCRTS
Once you have looked at my map, your assignment today is to CREATE your own GOOGLE MAP that includes the following items:
Work, Home, Directions (Route) from Home to Work
You must also include the following:
GROCERY
SHOPPING MALL/CENTER
LAUNDRY/DRY CLEANER
COFFEE SHOP
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (Closest Bus or Train)
CLOSEST MAJOR AIRPORT (In case you need to fly home to Philly)
HOSPITAL
DOCTOR'S OFFICE
DENTIST'S OFFICE
CHURCH/PLACE OF WORSHIP (Optional)
THREE (3) DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS
TWO (2) FUN THINGS TO DO
Please add me (hscribnercaa@gmail.com) as a COLLABORATOR and email me the link to your map. In the Email with the link, you need to identify the following items by listing the Company and Customer Service Phone Number for each service in your new city:
PHONE COMPANY
CABLE COMPANY
NATURAL GAS COMPANY
ELECTRIC COMPANY
TRASH PICKUP COMPANY
WATER SERVICE
SEWER SERVICE
POLICE DEPARTMENT
FIRE DEPARTMENT
AMBULANCE COMPANY
This exercise will give you an idea of what types of things you need to look for if you move to another city someday to take a job or start college. Even if you share an apartment/house with others, you should know this information. Good Luck!!
