The Little Burg
A living map of Fredericksburg that ran on your clock: sixty-four souls, trains on schedule, real weather, the actual moon. Closed Sept 30. The streets remain.

The map
Four lights on the real map.
Downtown Fredericksburg, street by street, from the survey. Each amber lamp is something we built and keep running — placed where it belongs downtown. Hover one; the needle finds it. Tap to visit.
COSMIC BUILDERS
Built in the Burg. Hosted on our own machines.
Cosmic Builders is a studio in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We design, build, and keep running one good machine for your whole business — sites, storefronts, the front office, control rooms, a custom jukebox, and the thing nobody else will quote. The Burg is our home block: everything above lives right here.
