The problem is the references to locations in text are ambiguous. There are many places called paris (most of which outside of France). Many streets called Main street, etc. Also lots of articles mention several locations. Then there are lots of informal names for neighborhoods, people being a bit loose with boundaries, etc. You can usually guess the city but getting from there to e.g. street level or neighborhood level is a lot harder. Anyway, good luck.
