I've been working on something similar for a little while. While I am still building the main site that lets people create their own realtime feeds based upon geofences they create, I couldn't resist making a quick page to keep up with the latest posts from various Vegas hotels.

I created a Hyperlapse player where you can also search by city: (for example, videos tagged #sanfrancisco http://lapsetube.com/tag/sf)

Similar concept but I think our take is a bit more robust. ;) Cheers.
I run a cafe in Fitzroy, Melbourne, forked it and pointed it to 50 metres of our cafe:
