Folks -
Wondering if there is/are any modules that integrate events (think classic community-calendar stuff) with places (think of directories of restaurants, nightclubs, parks, other places where those events might take place).
A "big iron" / proprietary CMS example are the sites being launched by my corporate masters and Gannett: Metromix New York Metromix Denver .
What are some examples of similar event/place driven sites that use one or more Drupal modules?
cheers,

Not too tough
Something like this would be relatively easy, actually, and not need much in the way of third-party modules. Just create "event" and "venue" content types, then use CCK to add a "node reference" field to the event type which lists all nodes of the venue type. When an editor creates a new event, they could then simply select the venue from the list that will appear on the event node editing page. Even if you do end up programming or installing separate "event" and/or "venue" handling modules, tying them together like this won't be too tough.
