Good point. While the process is more cumbersome than I would like, it is good practice to have our events appear on the OSM wiki. On that note. I have been talking with Clifford Snow (Seattle), Eleanor Tutt (St Louis) and Charlotte Wolter (LA area) about ways to make local OSM groups more

Re: [OSM-talk] How does one tag a business that closed and was replaced by something else?

I usually just either replace the tags of the node with the info for the new business (example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1400581558/history) , or in your case, the tags of the buildings. Perhaps merge the buildings also if they are functionally one structure? On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at
