Legacy retired places

Just wondering why we delete retired places rather than leaving them on and unrateable. Would kind of be interesting to have a record of some of these places rather than deleting them. Might be useful in the case in which they might open again, or the owners open a similar place. Or just fun to reminisce on times had. Thoughts?

agreed, are they still there but just not on the maps?

Actually retired places are not deleted.

You can find list of those places at the bottom of the city guide.

Ahh ok. I just did a search and didn’t find an old place that way.

Indeed, retired places do not show up in search, but they are not deleted.
Can be tricky to find though, the only way I know is to go to the “city list” of places and to the bottom.
