The Traverse City Record-Eagle has a feature on "Virtual Frankfort", a digitized version of the Benzie county city. Shops, restaurants, city hall, and streets can be navigated like a video game (albiet a 1992 game). It's hoped that the technology will attract visitors to Frankfort businesses (or at least their web sites). City planners could also require developers to build virtual models of proposals so they could see how a development would fit in to the city before it's approved.
