The Jeff Beckham Weblog

The recent launch of local journalism site EveryBlock tries to answer a question that doesn’t always have an easy response: “What’s happening in my neighborhood?”

Beginning with Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco, EveryBlock pulls together local news and public information, then allows you to narrow the focus to your particular neighborhood of interest. You might find restaurant inspections, crime reports, Craigslist lost-and-found items, or photos from Flickr with a specific location tag.
