EveryBlock
Want to know how your neighborhood sushi bar fared in its last health inspection? Or perhaps you’d like to rifle through your local lost-and-found? Whatever piques your interest, EveryBlock shows what’s nearby. This Web-based “newspaper” collects civic information (like health statements), real-estate listings, crime reports, and more from around the Internet — sites like Yelp, Flickr, and Craigslist — and organizes it by city block. Available in Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Charlotte, North Carolina (with more cities coming soon), it’s a geographic filter that provides the news you need, exactly where you need it.
