EveryBlock

EveryBlock is a site that aggregates local news and information in select cities to an incredible depth. The site aims to collect all of the news and civic occurances that are happening around you in your city and present them in a simple and easy to track way. You can view and search for data at various hyper-local levels and through many different RSS feeds. They bill themselves as “a geographic filter — a “news feed” for your neighborhood, or, yes, even your block.”

The site currently aggregates data for Chicago, San Francisco, and New York and is quickly adding new cities and more data.

EveryBlock is being developed by the team that created ChicagoCrime.org and the Django Python Framework.
