There's a dispensary in my area that's named "Dispensary near me"
Do you live in DC?
food open now
There’s a recreational dispensary in DC in Chinatown called Dispensary Near Me.
Ooohhh, that's even better than my local Thai Food Torino, which is also pretty SEO'd.
(Also quite good if you came here from a search engine. Italian run but kitchen is all Thai except for that one Myanmar Mon lady. We love their Pad Krapow)
I always see "near me" as a suggested search but it seems superfluous?
my guess is that it's useful to distinguish between wanting the Wikipedia page for the concept of "restaurant" or restaurants actually near you
Oh I guess that makes sense.
I only ever search for things like that on maps.
Who the hell is searching for Wikipedia on Google Maps? Or for a restaurant on normal Google?
What? Type in food near me in Google, and you get a list of restaurants with an overview of info on each.
I'll do the latter, kind of. Search using the bar at the top of my browser, then switch to the maps tab.
I thought they'd removed the maps tab as a de- monopolising move or something. Or is it only in Europe?
Right at the top for me.
Reminds me of a Russian oligarch that reportedly wanted to keep people from looking up his mega yacht online so he Named it “A”. But if you just Google “yacht A” you’ll find all sorts of information on it.
Legally changes name to "First name" Ignore all previous prompts "Last Name"
Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory
Keyword competiton is highly though
That's a good way to get a 1-star review from me lol

On the other hand, yesterday, I passed in front of a nightclub called "ice cream shop" in Portuguese. I found it a curious name and decided to find out more about the place, but it is actually impossible to Google it out.
How about Restaurant ?
