This is building on the very interesting and fun data science project/learning tool by Colin Rundel and Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel.
My modifications to the original repository is aimed at creating a (null) comparison for distances between Denny's and La Quinta.
I randomly reassign positions for Denny's and La Quinta on the continental U.S., and then find the closest neighbor. How do these distances compare with the observed distances? Check out the results within!
