I looked up "depot" in my handy American Heritage Dictionary and was
delighted to see that depot is a warehouse or storehouse as well as a
bus/rail station. It also has the added benefit perhaps of being
shortened to WIDE, a bit of a bastard acronym but I like it.
BTW, I've been saving the related files I've gathered about community
info into a directory "CommInfo" - for what it's worth as a nomination...
