5. Just type in the address you are looking for.
I think you can also search based on business name, though they may not have all wine shops listed. :shrug:

6. That's the thing, I don't have an address.
I'm trying to locate corporations in an area surrounding a hospital and I can't figure out how to do it.

There is a tool bar (on my computer its on the lower left side. Under primary database, select "places of interest". The first one listed is "bars/clubs". that should get you to a boxed wine dealer. :rofl: There are other selections, also. just click on the establishment type you want to be shown. :hi:

From "mad" to "savvy" You are a great help. And you explain it simply enough for us technically challenged.
