Okay, so I started to build a webmap with the shapefiles on the MapBox stack. (TileMill is the next big thing in town, and MapBox software Just Works (TM)) So, I went to label the cities, and I discovered that the cities did not have any names in the attribute table. Most of the other shapefiles are the same way, no particularly useful attributes. So, I am going to take ownership of the shapefiles and start adding attributes to them over the next couple of days. When I am done, I will try to put them on GitHub so that we can work on them collaboratively in the future. Oh, and then I will make a killer webmap.
Cheers,
Jeremy
