Google has created "city tours" itineraries which you can manipulate and massage to your own liking.

Not perfected yet, but sure is cool.

P.S.
Couldn't get it to work on IE, but works nice onf Firefox.

I don't really know what this means... but our developers can do anything!

What would you need that for?

I had the most popular cities that blogs were written from before... let me see if I can find it
