We would like to be able to filter the provider list based on City.

  1. Create a Cities table with the list of cities.
  2. Create a city column that links to the Cities table.
  3. Populate the column. Options: Manually, by parsing the Address field, or using the latitude/longitude.

Are there other fields we might want to filter on? e.g. county?

I bet we can get free reverse-geocode address information here: https://www.geocod.io/upload/

  1. download spreadsheet cvvd from airtable
  2. add a city column
  3. upload
  4. select the reverse option
  5. process
  6. download
  7. copy city column
  8. paste into new city column in airtable
  9. add new cities table to airtable
  10. change field tuype of city column to lookup.
  11. see everything populated

looks like we have some bad lats/longs in the system pointing to the east coast!
