I've had this for weeks now, but haven't posted it...oops.

I made a map of Manhattan marked with various locations that are important in the Castle 'verse, which has helped me immensely when writing fics (because I'm OCD and have to know exactly how long it takes to get from the station to each crime scene, or whose apartment, Ryan's or Esposito's,

Thank you! I'm somewhat obsessive with researching the EXACT distance from point A to point B... writing fics led to me making this for myself, and when I showed it to my beta she squee'd "OMG POST THIS".

I don't know whether it would help anyone else or whether it would just reveal my obsessive tendencies >> sadly (and somewhat ironically), the whole point of making this was to figure out where the characters actually lived, and yet I don't have specific, canonical locations for anyone.

I always imagined Espo closer to the 12th pct station than Ryan, but given that he used to work at the 54th which would be in the Bronx, either he used to have one hell of a commute or he has one now -- or he lives exactly in the middle. Either way, assuming that Ryan's halfway between where he works and where he found his couch, he's definitely closer to the station than Espo.
