Every block - next level of public data processing

This site aggregates tons of public data source by geo location. You can search by various categories. For example, you can view all crime news local to your area in particular city. Currently site is supporting only few cities. According to site:

"EveryBlock is a new experiment in journalism, offering a Web "newspaper" for every city block in Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco — with more cities to come. Enter any address, neighborhood or ZIP code in those cities, and the site shows you recent public records, news articles and other Web content that’s geographically relevant to you. To our knowledge, it’s the most granular approach to local news ever attempted."
