This might be premature because it depends on services, but the idea here is instead of displaying a long, top-down list of all the fields coming straight from the spreadsheet, combine as many as possible together wherever it makes sense.

This was a quick text-based mockup of what I was thinking, but I'd love to get a designer to mock something up:

I see what you're saying - I'd love to see a quick change to the pin display (to go back to listing info from the columns in order, the way it used to be) implemented ASAP (right now the distributing and receiving hours info lines are not near each other, and we've heard confusion from some users about this) and a larger discussion about overhaul, especially to include services (conversation taking place this week - if you're reading this and want to be included, let me know and I'll send you a link to the Doodle for scheduling that meeting).

Another thought on popups: how hard would it be to preserve line breaks from the spreadsheet? Would we need to train folks putting data into the spreadsheet to use a newline character or something, or start new paragraphs with some kind of indicator character? Longer notes sections, especially, get clumsy and hard to read when it all gets mashed together into one long single line.

@comeoneileen line breaks is a good question, and I don't know the answer off the top of my head.

Cool. Just to confirm, throwing \n into Google Sheets does not automatically create line breaks.
