Take the Chicago police blotter and run it through Google Maps and you get ChicagoCrime.org. Take a look, for example, at where you are most likely to be robbed at gunpoint, or find a dice game. (NB: Both occur with frequency on sidewalks — see the links under the map.) I wish they had this in more big cities. I love to walk cities, but I would also love to know what I’m walking into.
More googley map goodness
