Even after staring at Maps for so many years, sometimes Map search results can still bring a smile particularly when it sounds like my grandmother. The search for Dui Lawyer Long Island (the dirty bums
) brought back this Brooklyn Semantic Search result (with the emphasis on the G):



That’s priceless. I see it for other Long Island searches as well. Gotta love a Googler with a sense of humor

That’s hilarious. It’s true, if you say it the way they have spelled it, it really does sound like a New York accent.

I have a very similar issue, my listing was flagged for months and still is but its showing up in local search. I find it strange that it shows up but is still flagged in the LBC
