I'm micromapping some public areas, in this case train stations. two questions: 1) there are large open concrete areas for pedestrians, but there are also covered walkways through them as well. http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/36.38380/139.07281 I mapped the open sections as highway=p

Langenscheidt translates DE:varieté into "variety theatre, music hall, Am. vaudeville theatre". Oxford defines 'variety' for both BE/AE as "a form of television or theater entertainment consisting of a series of different types of acts, such as singing, dancing, and comedy" All is exactly what
