Any ideas on how to generate a text list of addresses for restaurants/bars/parks in an arbitrary city? Don't need specific ones.

@dckovar Screen-scrape one of the "crowdsourcing" web sites (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc) and post-process with a script?

@hal_pomeranz Yea, that may be the best approach. Good excuse to learn how to screen scrape, too. Thanks...

@dckovar Perl/Python have libs for opening a URL directly from your script, or use wget/curl on the cmd line. After that, it's just parsing.
