Cue ten further emails describing various Google Earth mashups that
correlate restaurants with capacity, wait time and geek acceptability

This statement, "The Wyndham is less than a ten minute

do something wrong?

You must have. Mapquest says 0.3 miles.

FWIW: there appear to be two locations "2201 Stemmons 
Freeway, Dallas". 
Maporama used zip code 75006 for me, while the correct 
appears to be 75207. 
I guess this explains the situation.

Based on what I hear on dialogue which happened on wgchairs list on 
this, it's still not clear if you can be expected to be 
able to walk 
from Wyndham to the venue...

There is essentially another hotel and a parking lot between 
the two hotels.

google local is pretty accurate:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2015+Market+Center+Bou
levard+Dallas,+Texas+75207&btnG=Search&ll=32.797232,-96.824827>
&spn=0.018759,0.059094

it's about 300 meters, maybe less.
