I get calls in early mornings meant for the bar. I've gone to Yahoo yellow pages and corrected theirs but i can't find out how to get google's corrected. Mapquest also has an error on my street location. i live in a waterfront canal location and the location skips across the water requiring different access streets which confuses everyone from the fire department to delivery services and private services. I would like to update all this once and for all. Can someone direct me to the best place to fix these issues.
