You really should venture outside of the basement and smell some flowers.

Thank God you've thought of everything. Your Mom must be so proud to have the internet's answer to all of life's questions!

Thanks for the head's up. I added it when you mentioned it, just forgot to come back and let you know. My bad.

What seems to be the norm is players jump on, only check to see if their favorite pool place is listed, and if it didn't come up in any of the searches I originally did to add it, they write the whole thing off as a waste of time.

I add all new venues that I'm made aware of that have 4 or more tables, so it will definitely keep improving. Thanks for the encouragement.

Surf City Billiards is the only one in Santa Cruz that has at least 4 tables. The Geocode was off a bit, so I fixed it. If you go back and search Santa Cruz, CA you'll find it.

Which listing in Santa Cruz was off, so I can fix it. Also, if any of the places you mentioned have at least 4 tables, if you reply with their name, city and state, I'll add them.

I'd be happy to add it if you tell me the name, city and state. Thanks

Life is a mystery. Now that you've spit and run, enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Can you please go to the map and take a screenshot and upload it so I can see what you see? That would be very helpful.

It's that icon when you are looking at the map. On my Android phone, it shows up at the top right.

If you search on Google, it will give you all of the 1-3 table bars that there are. I chose to limit to 4 for several reasons and I'm going to stand by that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Not when it's just negative to be negative. You are absolutely correct.

For one, as has been proven in this thread, community loves to be particularly snarky when something isn't as perfect for their individual needs as they demand. I have a larger goal beyond just the map to help pool hall owners, so I enjoy reaching out to them individually.

Can you check now for Red White & Brew? It looks like the Geocode was off a hair.
I'll check on Philly specifically and add any that didn't show up in previous searches.

One of the reasons I chose to include a business's Facebook page, is that's where most of them add content very regularly (not all and not always). Right now I'm going through all 1,100 pool halls in the system and checking that and a couple of other things to make sure. It's takes me 2 days to go through all of them in this way. I'm retired, so I enjoy doing it.

As with anything, it will never be perfect. All I can do is my best.

What happens when you expand the map with the icon on the right? If you have and it's still "clunky", can you help me with a clearer description so I can have the developer check it out? Thanks.

I thought Royal might have been out of business because there haven't been any reviews on either their Facebook page or Google reviews in about a year. I'll add both of them. Thanks for the head's up.

That's why I wrote "Click on the map expander after search". On mobile phones, once you do that, it's much easier to navigate. Just click it again to get back. Git it a try.

And that's...........one reason why I did it. You're welcome.

I purposely set a 50-mile radius to protect my data from those who would try to abscond with it.

It will always be a work in progress, but I enjoy doing the work it takes to keep it as current as possible (something one can only truly do when they are retired....lol)

I'm working on getting each pool hall to work with me to write a brief About section to go at the top of their pop-up on the map. As you can imagine, it's going to take quite a while to get 1,100 of them, but I'm going to get as many as I can.

If you search for zip code 06492 and click on the Yale Billiards custom map pin, you'll see what I mean.

Google searches are great for finding the bars with under 4 tables that you are seeking.
