title: How to structure a Firebase database for a static list?
body: <p>What is the best way to structure a database in Firebase for the following scenario:</p>
  
  <p>I am building an app that has the very basic functions of Yelp (lists businesses based on a chosen city).</p>
  
  <p>I need to store many pieces of information (address, hours, e-mails, etc.) for the individual businesses. I also need to make sure I have a way to identify each business uniquely- my solution was to use the business phone number or e-mail.</p>
  
  <p>Since search queries are conducted by city I thought the best way to structure my data tree would be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cities
    Phone
      Business Name
      City
      Contact Name
      Contact E-Mail
      E-Mail
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I totally off base here regarding the use of proper NoSQL/Firebase data structure or am I on the right track? If I am not, how can I better improve the data tree?</p>
