(TrendHunter.com) Is it just me, or is this really bizarre? Why would a piano maker that has been making quality instruments for 155 years make something like this?

Yesterday at the second annual BlogSavannah UnConference, social media consultant and keynote speaker, Josh Hallett, said it was interesting to see how different cities adopt hyperlocal blogging. He mentioned that Tampa and Orlando (near his home) both have lots of hyperlocal bloggers.
One of the things I look for at a conference is memes. They’re often hanging there in the air, ripe for inspection.
As it happens, today I stumbled upon EveryBlock, an aggregator play in the hyperlocal segment.
The service is available in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, so I put Lincoln Square in the search box and bingo, the site returned news and images from the old ‘hood.
Specifically, EveryBlock returns updates on everything from business and liquor license applications to street closures. One article I found right away was this one on green building practices at an 18-unit condo development in the heart of Lincoln Square.

As an expression of her devotion, Huba ate every meal for a week at Mr. F.
Here’s her visual documentation, a.k.a. photoset on Flickr. Whole Foods doesn’t allow photographs to be taken in its stores, but Huba asked for and received permission.
