Finds the centroids of 50km hexagons to tile a bounding box and writes the coordinates to a file. Then, creates a bash script to query Google Places for each point and write the responses to files. (There's some overlap between the queried areas, but it should be minimal.) Here, it's searching for grocery stores in New Jersey.
