Depending on which city youre in, some things you can do with this app are:

* Get recent health inspection reports for restaurants nearby
- See which crimes have been reported on the street youre walking down
- Find out what places in your neighborhood have been covered in the news
- Get a sense for property values in your area

Note that information availability depends on the city. Check out our Web site at http://www.everyblock.com/ to see which information is available in your city.

Again, we want to be super clear about the fact that this is only available in 15 cities. Well be adding more cities over time, and if youre really interested, you can keep tabs on our progress at http://blog.everyblock.com/ .
