[support] Business Listings

[Laura Scott]

I Agree with Earnie, cck + views would be the way to go with this,  
using taxonomy to categorize. This way you are building in a way that  
has the brightest upgrade future, as things look now -- CCK and views  
are going to become only more integrated with core as we move forward.
