#Flexible Data Storage: Polymorphism, and Serialization, and HStore, oh my!

###Story/Example App

###Question: How would you setup your database to record this information?

###Options

API Endpoints (/api/v1/...)

/poverty/map(?year=2014) (state geo.json data with any coloring/shading options applied (maybe a color intensity?)
/poverty/markers(?year=2014) (any individual points or markers we want on/in the states, possible year filter)
/poverty (general data set information (data set name, updated_at, avail. years, etc))
/poverty/state/tweets (last 50 tweets within predefined poverty twitter hashtags) OR /poverty/tweets?state=XX
/poverty/state/tweets/sentiment (sentiment scale score of last 2000 tweets)
/poverty/state/data(?year-2014) (more chosen state data, for example actual numbers/%'s, that could be overlaid on state)
/poverty/state/images (if we wanted to pull in instagram photos)
