[FlashCodersNY] NYC Big Apps

[Thaylin Burns]

Lol, I didn¹t even catch that. Looking at the data sets provided though, it
definitely seems to be rather useless unless I¹m missing something. For
instance, New York Beaches gives no real pertinent information that can be
used on say a map. No address, just location that is in plain english (oh
it¹s near this one area or whatever). It would be a pain to weed through
that and find any info that is useful. Though if we did do it and won
something, that money could go towards FCNY for future fees and maybe other
various things. And that would be a good thing.
