An interactive map of every parcel publicly owned in Davidson County, classified by category, restrictions, and council district.

Why it surfaced

Metro Land makes public land inspectable rather than merely downloadable: each classification carries a rule ID, restrictions such as flood buyouts and FAA obligations are flagged, and the underlying CSV and GeoJSON are released under CC0. Its stated 3.4% known error rate—and the discovery of a fire station recorded as vacant land—give the project an unusually welcome habit of showing its work.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
