Body: <p>I've used expression engine but not Craft. I am looking for a CMS more flexible than WordPress. I need to have admins enter location or addresses of meetings and then allow site users search for locations close to them or close to a specific address. Part of the use case is that meeting locations would be posted if the meeting is open or just a contact if the meeting is closed.</p>
  
  <p>Would Craft be a good CMS for this? What about the geo stuff?</p>
