Check out this animated map showing the spread of Walmart stores across the U.S. from the first store in 1967 to the more than 3000 stores open today.
Also interesting is this clip from the BBC showing visualizations of the daily movements of British traffic of various kinds, from London cabs, to air traffic, to telephone conversations. I hope this show makes it to BBC America.
Overdue hat tip to Houston's Clear Thinkers, a blog from which I have pinched stuff frequently in the past.

Interesting watching the green dots spread from Arkansas, kinda like a disease.
Gangrene, for instance.
