[Chicago] Address parser?

[Tom Printy]

Hi,

You might be able to do this with Yahoo!'s geocoder api. If you use the
freetext input it will spit back 

Latitude   The latitude of the location.   
Longitude   The longitude of the location.   
Address   Street address of the result, if a specific location could be
determined.   
City   City in which the result is located.   State   State in which the
result is located.   
Zip   Zip code, if known.   
Country   Country in which the result is located.

Address parsing is a real pain, let somebody else do it.
