You are using getJSON and each the wrong way:

function loadJSON(){
    $.getJSON("http://localhost:8000/api/0.1/tonight-mobile.json&callback=?", callback);
}
function callback(data){
    var target = $("#tonight-list");
    $.each(data.Places, function(i) {
        target.append("...");
    });
}

You have to pass a reference of the callback function do getJSON, not call the function.

If you do $("#tonight-list").each() then you are iterating over the elements selected by the selector. This function takes only one argument (the callback) anyway. See the documentation.

You want $.each() which takes an array as first and a callback as second argument.
