Disused canal, fine. Disused railway, sure. Disused building, no problem. Disused quarry, yes. But disused cafe? A cafe is a building, or part of a building, which is *used* as a cafe. The use is part of the definition. "a generally informal place with sit-down facilities selling beverages and light meals and/or snacks". By that definition, if they aren't selling anything, they're not a cafe. So what is a disused cafe? When they're selling but no one is buying? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
