Problem: Metro Area’s in the USA have many cities within a radius of 50 miles. Currently GeoDirectory will not show events or places that have a different city name unless the cities are Merged within GeoDirectory.

As a result of Merging cities, the sub-city is replaced with the larger city name (the primary location) and this causes confusion.

Example: Los Angeles is surrounded by smaller cities (Burbank, Beverly Hills, Carson, Culver City, Glendale, Hollywood, Lakewood, Playa Vista).

In your demo page example this is what I’m talking about Demo Site Address
vs Yelp
Yelps address – same restaurant
Yelp says Encino where geo directory says Los Angeles, I Live in LA and if I were describing the location to a person I would tell them Encino.

This can cause a lot of confusion in areas such as LA, Seattle and San Francisco. Where there are several smaller cities within a metro area.
