@wcubias Here is a working list of data integrity issues to check for in 1981:

• [x] - States should be listed with abbreviations not full names. i.e. CA not California. Is an issue in at least parts of 85, 81, 77.
• [N/A ] - City names in 75 need to be checked for /s i.e. Lithia/Tampa. Check guide for more specific location. If not listed in guide use this geocoding tool
• [x] entries listed as statewide need to have blank cities instead.
• [x] Washington DC entries should be listed as Washington in city rather than Washington, D.C.. because dc is in the state column for geocoding purposes.
• [x] Some cities need to be more specific. Look through to find any with a / splitting metro areas. Check guides and if no more specific location is listed, use geocoding tool linked above.
• [x] verify locations with blank cities to ensure they are statewide
• [x] states should have abbreviations not full names i.e. CA rather than California
• [x] Filter and check that locations without addresses are marked unclear. PO Boxes too.

@regan008 @heinz-am I was looking at this issue for Boston/Cambridge and realized that the original scan of the guide has a bunch of listings mis-identified as Cambridge when it should be Boston. Could we assign someone to go through the Guidebook and compare names of listings to either 1979 or 1983 issue and get the right city listed? Ex. most of the Bars are listed under Cambridge in the guidebook but are actually in Boston. A few of the listings under Cambridge in the guidebook are actually in Cambridge, though, so it's not a straightforward fix.

That would be useful - @heinz-am let me know if your student’s schedule is too full with the other tasks and I’ll see if Hallie could jump in after she gets back from this conference.

@cblevins is it just this year or all the years? I suspect it could be a problem in the MGG data too

[cblevins]

1981 is the only year I've noticed - at least for some of the other years the Guidebook lists it under Boston/Cambridge and the transcriber seemed to look the address up to correctly place it in one of these two cities.
