[Developers] Freebase and geo location information

[Jeff Prucher]

I'm not sure why the types and properties aren't displayed on this page;
that looks like a bug to me. Since it's an instance of the Mailing Address
type, however, it wouldn't have a name: Instances of compound-value types
are not typically named. 

If you follow the "explore" links that Gordon mentions, you can see that
it's the address for Citizens Against Government Waste.
