Halloween Geo News Blitz!
First off, MapQuest's PR firm shares (Mapquest blog):
MapQuest makes finding the closest Haunted Houses easy with its new ghost icon search button within the On-Map Search Tool (located on the right hand side of the map). Users simply click on the icon to start planning their Halloween celebrations. Not only will this search show you locations, but it also includes a link to the Haunted House’s Web site (when available) for hours and other information about the spooky haunt.
Next, Zillow helps predict the best ROI for candy (most candy, least walking) for Seattle and LA (Zillow blog, via WSJ). From Zillow PR specialist Whitney Tyner:
Based on those variables [home values alongside additional data on population density, neighborhood walkability, and local crime], this Index represents neighborhoods that will provide the most candy, with the least walking, and minimum safety risks.
