I care about a motive, because I want the city I live in to be safer and I know it's wrong to shoot people. I think you care too, yosemiteone, or you wouldn't have left a comment at all.

Doesn't Twitter handle search requests by ZIP code? Better choice than by city name in those cities big enough to have multiple codes. Maybe the answer is to partner with a check-in service like Foursquare or Yelp...

There were tiny plastic flutes of Chandon (I'm guessing the French Champagne) at the New Year's Eve house party, but they were making mimosas with prosecco at the New Year's Day potluck. Either way, I think I'm'a need more taste-testing to decide which is better.
