Consumer UI display of location in snippets should be simpler #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The locations in the consumer UI snippets often show state and zipcode.  For 
example:
  San Diego County CA 92123
  Minneapolis MN 55404
  1718 Patterson St Nashville TN 37203

This should be simplified and simplified:
  San Diego County
  Minneapolis
  1718 Patterson St, Nashville

Easy task: strip out zipcode and state abbreviation

More difficult, but would be great to have: insert commas before city name 
when address is at street resolution like the example above.  *** Note that 
GMaps' geocoding API returns prettified addresses, so ideally we wouldn't 
have to insert the commas/etc ourselves, but would use that output.

for now, can you put in a hack in the consumer frontend? (e.g. regexp)

this is much easier than modifying the pipeline and database, taps much more 
plentiful eng resources and we can develop more exact requirements i.e. 
identify and 
work out the corner cases.

Is this still valid?
