Pop Culture and Geography Combine in AOL's New 'Where It's At'

AOL has launched a new mapping concept designed to answer those probing geographical pop culture questions such as "Where is the real Hotel California?" There are a few different ways to browse the site. One is to use the info box hovering over the map. Simply click "Next Spot" and be taken on a whirlwind tour of random pop culture locales.

On the right side is a list of topics by which you can narrow your interest. Choose from topics or locations.

Below the fold are the most recent spots added, editor's picks, and an option to submit a spot.

At the time of this post, I couldn't get the site to load the map function in Firefox, an issue I trust will be resolved soon enough.
