About · Corrections

Corrections log.

Two kinds of corrections live here. First: businesses verified as permanently closed — those pages stay live as a quiet archive but are removed from the directory, map, and sitemap. Second: stale OpenStreetMap records discovered during enrichment, queued for upstream edits so the correction propagates beyond this site. Each entry shows the date it was logged and the source that confirmed it.

See the methodology page for how to flag something that's wrong on the site.

Closures (19)

A business is marked closed only when a public source confirms it. The page stays live with a permanently-closed notice citing the source; the listing is removed from the directory, map, category pages, and sitemap.

OpenStreetMap edit queue (13 queued · 0 applied)

Stale OSM records discovered while curating business enrichments — typically a website domain that's changed, a phone number that's wrong, or a closed business still tagged as active. Edits are queued internally and submitted upstream to OpenStreetMap in batches so the correction helps every site that uses OSM, not just this one. When an edit is applied upstream, its status flips from "queued" to "applied" with the application date.

• Zeus Gyros INC queued discovered 2026-05-16

  name: ZEUS GYROS INC (City legal name) → Zeus Restaurant or Zeus

  City license is filed as the corporate legal name 'ZEUS GYROS INC'; the customer-facing brand on third-party sources (Greektown Chamber listing) is just 'Zeus' or 'Zeus Restaurant'. The restaurant's own domain zeusgyros.com has an expired SSL certificate — could not fetch their own site directly.

Why this page exists

Two reasons. First, transparency: a citation-based site should make its own error history visible, not just its claims. Second, OSM contribution: surfacing the OSM-edit queue publicly creates a small accountability mechanism for actually filing the upstream edits rather than letting the queue grow indefinitely.

Future corrections will be appended here. Page restructures, data-source additions, and methodology changes get logged in this file's git history (and will be linked from here once the repo is public).
