Or, another potential place -- an Amazon Web Service Public Data Set:<br>
<a href="http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/" target="_blank">http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/</a><br>
"Public Data Sets on AWS provides a centralized repository of<br>
public data sets that can be seamlessly integrated into AWS<br>
cloud-based applications. AWS is hosting the public data sets<br>
at no charge for the community"<br>
<br>
I find their pre-loaded PostGIS open-street-map and 2008 TIGER/LINE<br>
data extremely convenient:<br>
