   also a great thought. right now we only have this under the "we're here to
   help" page.

   Any time a department is mentioned, it might be useful to provide a
   tooltip for the user reminding them where that office or department is
   located.

   e.g. whenever the Planning Department is mentioned, let the user hover
   their mouse over the phrase "Planning Department" to see a tooltip that
   says something like

   701 Ocean Street, 4th Floor, Santa Cruz, CA
   sccoplanning.com
   831-454-3252

   I saw Ruthie's presentation today at TechRaising, and I think I remember her saying that Bootstrap is being used on the front-end right now.

   Bootstrap has JS widgets for tooltips that you may be interested in using.

   The hard part, I'm sure, is getting a sort of directory going and ensuring that each instance of a department name has the correct tooltip. If it's only on the "We're here to help" page, I imagine something like that isn't in place yet.
