[Talk-ca] Future Shop and Target

2015-04-07 Thread Andrew MacKinnon
http://www.thestar.com/business/2015/04/06/future-shop-stores-re-open-under-best-buy-name.html

The Future Shop stores that have reopened still have Future Shop
signage but Best Buy signage will replace it soon and the employees
have Best Buy uniforms. The map in this article is based on OSM, but
the overlay is proprietary so don't copy from it.

Also does anyone mind if I change all the Targets in Canada to
shop=vacant once they all fully close on April 12? If there is a good
reason not to then I won't do this, but it seems silly to have a whole
bunch of outdated data in OSM.

The former Future Shops that reopened on April 4 are open again. Oddly
enough they still have Future Shop signage though the employees' uniforms
say Best Buy and it appears that the Future Shop signage will be replaced
with Best Buy signage in the next few months. I think it makes sense to use
name=Best Buy and old_name=Future Shop for these.

[Talk-ca] Future Shop

2015-03-28 Thread Andrew MacKinnon
Future Shop has closed all 131 stores in Canada and will replace 65 of
them with Best Buy stores while closing the remainder. I have created
a wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future_Shop to keep
track of them.

Please help change Future Shops to shop=vacant, add any Future Shops
(with shop=vacant) that exist but are missing from OSM, change them to
Best Buys if they become Best Buys, change them to something else if
they get replaced with something else, and update the wiki. Thanks.
