And not always wanted, either. What triggered me mapping a new boot sale site was someone asking on Facebook "where is the bootsale tomorrow", so if they were going to try and find it on a time-sensitive display of the data then they'd also need to say what time they were thinking of being there before they could try and find it. Much easier to say "it will be here" and point at a non-time sensitive location.

However, after a quick wiki search, I quite like this way of showing what is open and closed:
