[Developers] new cool acre app

[Shawn Simister]

I went ahead and mocked-up a sample interface 
<http://locator.freebaseapps.com/index/en/lord_elgin_hotel> using 
Placemaker. To be honest, I'm not that impressed with the results that 
it's been giving me so far. There are a lot of obvious errors and it 
refuses to pick up basic street addresses. I think I might need to 
switch it over to Calais to to get better results.
