#ScribesAndMakers May 17: Link to, reply to, or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.
The top vote-getter was Yelp, which I found a bit surprising. I use Yelp fairly extensively, both to get diverse photos of the insides of places and occasionally to verify when they first opened or whether they'd gone out of business by a particular date. Anyone else who's writing in contemporary urban settings, consider that a free tip! 1/3

Naturally, I use Google Maps' street view a lot to verify details of exterior things, and the Time and Date weather records to know what the weather was like on any given date. (If I really need it to have been something different for the purposes of my story, I'll gladly rewrite history, but I want to know that I'm doing so and make that a deliberate choice.) 2/3 #ScribesAndMakers
