We have considered moving venue just for a change but it's very relaxed there and the food (and waitresses) are good, so as it ain't broke why mend it!
C'mon, Neo, where's that pic of that cute young waitress from our last meet?
Regarding having our home location permanently shown with our avatar etc, for security reasons I would be very against that (I have had to be offered Police protection before in my life!). As it stands, we can individually choose to say where we live in our Profile details or even state in our posts signature.
It really makes a difference to meet and become friends with some of the folks on the forum. So I'm happy to travel when it suits me and the route is a good drive which I enjoy. I just love driving! There are now folks here who I will visit even without a meet - I'm good at scrounging a cuppa!
