Pretty neat!

I've moved several times over the past several years, and each time I make sure to consult everyblock.com. The information provided is beyond helpful; I doubt I would know as much about my neighborhood without everyblock.com (and I've been living at my current residence for two years!). You must visit this site; the information you'll find will astound you!

Nice way to learn more about neighborhoods, though going out and walking or biking through them is better.
This is good for obtaining information before you go visit a place or to keep up with it while you are away.

Great innovation! I use this website all the time......especially since there is WAY too much crime in Chicago. With the lack of care on the parts of most Alderman in Chicago (46th Ward especially), Everyblock.com will have tons of visitors. Kudos to this great idea.

I've seen this microbeat in action and it is simply amazing. A great addition to how we relay news. Brilliant.
