Title: Using Folium to make the data binding easy

Hi David,

This popped up and I had an urge to play around with the data, interactive maps is something I've been procrastinating doing for a long time now as I've always been too put off by setting up the Topo and GeoJSON files.

The following script uses Folium and Leaflet.js to make interactive
google maps type maps.
You can either run the script by itself, or simply look at the generated html file and everything should work appropriately. (I've checked in FireFox, had a few issues using Chromium however).

I've bound the price data to the map and included some comments so that you
know how this is done.
This might be a good avenue to follow if you are trying to make interactive maps
If you're interested in collaborating let me know, contact info in the script.

Hope this is helpful
