Different icons for different events and a running list of events in a side column. Much like this map https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en_US&mid=1Y0c2pVnZucuh8sWa4HUIMbGoR8Y

on chrome the point markers look ok, but on firefox they look like:

The request to http://www.slmpd.org/cfs.aspx is being passed through https://jsonp.afeld.me/ so that we can make the request without CORS errors. This service has been shut down:
afeld/jsonp#179

list of items in a sidebar or something. When click on item, zoom to it on map.

Hi Gavin! I'd like to contribute to your project. Is it ok to work on styling the header? If so, please assign this Issue to me and provide any suggestions/guidance.

Thank you!

add "more info" link to github page

Poll the source link every minute or so and update the map

since the items take awile to geocode, should show a busy icon while loading.
