v1.1 - "Pigeon"

After a successful 1.0 release, we're happy to release a small update with a few small bugs/tweaks that became apparent once the site went live.

• adds additional facebook sharing meta tags for homepage and stories (6d5b648)
• fixes options popover in Firefox (99353c0)
• fixes homepage collaborator logos stacking on mobile (98a7cde)
• fixes typo on BEA data source page (#356) (9b95e59)
• fixes footer background color on wide screens (49246a2)
• hides the ranks on the location splash pages because when we added in the ACS 1-year data for large places, we didn't account for the smaller sample size when displaying the max number of locations (ex. 350 out of 26,954). This caused the ranking stats to be misleading, and will be part of a longer discussion on how to convey this information clearly. (#353) (26a3a3a)
