That would be incredible, but somehow I doubt there are that many dedicated Wikipedians that it's going to happen.
Anyway, I look forward to the day when I can use Wikipedia to find out about the local coffee shops and Linux User Groups and radio stations and indie artists. If that means I have to stop myself from clicking on a link to [[Harrisburg Street, St. Petersburg]] and reading about the width of the sidewalks, it's well worth it.
Otherwise, if you can think of some way that Wikipedia can allow what's interesting to me but not allow what I personally find to be "cruft", without boring me with the nearly impossible task of going through every VFD discussion myself, I'd love to hear it.
Actually, it would be not too bad to put together city guides and such, either within Wikipedia or within a separate project. But there is so much more content of such wider interest waiting to be developed that we shouldn't divide our efforts.
