'About Town' consists of a series of incidental stories from around Belfast gathered over the period of two months. These stories are used to attempt to map the city in a verenacular personalised way.

Belfast is a city frequently represented in the printed media but the representations of the city in newspapers are often restricted to familiar cliches of an unlivable place. This article takes the form of a map, acknoweledging it as an editorial document where select information is included or left out according to the maps function.
