Accessing real-time user location via last post or mobile location

I've built an app utilizing user's straight location; but I'd like access to the user's latest location i.e. when a user posts from a mobile device they include an approx. location; how can we access that? This would open a door to a huge "real-time" market.

This is not exposed via the Graph API.

I can't be 100% sure, but I posted a status update via the mobile app, verified it had the location "Brooklyn" on it. Then I used the API Explorer to drill down and look at that status update: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=781062048236 and there is no location information available.

You can also verify by looking at the docs that they just don't make it available.
