ok-- so they're giving us just lat/long for the locations, which means
we need to reverse geocode.

there's a larger issue around how we geocode/reverse-geocode data
coming into the system, and what we display.

for now, I did a simple + conservative substitution, when the location
is completely blank I grabbed the city, state and country from the
reverse geocode call.  I also didn't try to fill out the structured
location fields (city, state, etc.) in the final data structure--
just the string version.  We'll be revisiting all this over the summer.

fixed in r534
