And every featured tourism business can link to their location on the map from their own website by going to TMN’s Map It Link portal

cool mashup you’ve created.
Many ADDers self medicate positively through exercise since it boosts dopamine (the focusing neurotransmitter), norepinepherine, serotonin and beta endorphins. It’s the #1 non medical way to treat ADHD, depression and anxiety. Many of those do it through running. Jeff Hamilton, my co-author of pills the don’t teach skills blog is a regular runner and swears by it’s positive effects.
