Parse Addresses

[mark-meyer]

Currently we only recognize zip codes and locations in form of city, state or city state. We would like to recognize full addresses even if we only use the city/state from the location string. To be successful we would nee to be able to parse the typical variety of input users might try such as:

• Main St. Denver, Co
• 1010 3rd Ave Denver colorado
• 5th and A st. anchorage, ak
• etc...

Geolocating full addresses is probably beyond the scope of this project. It that becomes a requirement, we will need to use a service such as Google Map. It is likely that this won't be required since it will be rare for different addresses in one city to return different result.
