    Event Location text box is too short

    Hi folks,

    Thanks again for all you do!

    When you post an event, sometimes the location text box (60 characters long) is too short.

    It's long enough for this:
    Peace & Justice Center, 467 Sebastopol Ave, Santa Rosa


    But for this address, even with abbreviations, I had to leave off "Road" (or "Rd" for short):

    Utilities Field Operations Bldg, 35 Stony Point, Santa Rosa

    This is a problem, because sometimes the info left out is very important. For example, a speaker unfamiliar with Santa Rosa heading to the Peace & Justice Center arrived a half an hour late - because he spent twenty minutes on Sebastopol Road looking for the center, but the center is on Sebastopol Ave, not Road. Sebastopol Ave is on the other side of the freeway.

    Sonoma State University has more complex directions because of the many buildings and room numbers there. So for one event, I had to leave off important info: Ballroom C -

    Weill Hall, Sonoma State U., 1801 E. Cotati Ave. Rohnert Pk

    I could have abbreviated further, but that can cause confusion as well.

    Just a thought I've had more than once...

    Again, thanks for all you do!
