EveryBlock comes to DC
The geographically-based super-engine EveryBlock has finally come to DC. Think of EveryBlock like the best mashup of Flickr, Google Maps, The Public Records Office, MPD’s Crime Blotter, the Real Estate Section of the paper, and just about every news story out there in the District, whether it comes from Blogs, or from the Post or Examiner, or from the local TV affiliates, EveryBlock is there.
It’s all one big map, and they’re all over the geolocation of various events:
This map gives me a listing of real estate around the Brightwood neighborhood. Just a click away in the Crimes listing, or the Calls for City Services, or the Business Reviews.
It’s pretty impressive. Go play!

I was so excited to see them launch for DC today, especially after reading the fantastic write-up on its founder, Adrian Holovaty, in yesterday’s Chicago Tribune Magazine: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/technology/chi-mxa0817magholovatyaug17,0,5960812,full.story

Nice. I’ve got the feed for my neighborhood running and am laughing at all the parking tickets: http://dc.everyblock.com/locations/neighborhoods/penn-quarter/
