We tried to solve this by putting some placeholder text in each field:
Machine (Iron Maiden)
Near (Manhattan)
Location (John's Bar)
So, "Near" is the geography and "Location" takes a business name.
We'll tweak it. Thanks for your feedback.
- detaro 7y agoFor me, "Location" shows "Wedgehead", which I parse as a town/village name. This "naming things" topic is surprisingly tricky it turns out...
- ryantgtg 7y agoOh yes, it says "Wedgehead" right now. That's the name of a real location. Sometimes we cycle out that placeholder to say a different name of a cool new venue. FYI: Wedgehead is a venue in Portland, Oregon. The business's name is a reference to a specific style of electro-mechanical pinball machine that was around in the '60s and '70s. The shape of the backbox was sort of a wedge. Wedgeheads were always (as far as I know) single player machines, and were generally made by Gottlieb and Chicago Coin. See the machine that is second to the right here: https://i1.pinside.com/5/c2/5c2420372fb8beda178cbbef6e605a0babe08262/resized/740/5c2420372fb8beda178cbbef6e605a0babe08262.jpg https://i1.pinside.com/5/c2/5c2420372fb8beda178cbbef6e605a0b... Anyway, we're changing "Location" to say "Venue", and will push the change soon. It is a wise suggestion!
