Shout out to the lost CIBO at the Creekside Inn in Palo Alto, pushed out due to their corporate overlords' desire to scrap the inn and build condos.

#52I knew other people felt the same way! There was this coffee shop I always hanged out, which recently "permanently closed" as the owner died RIP. It is really hard to explain that feeling, which I literally can't. But awesome idea!

#53How were they able to get this data? I’ve had lots of similar idea bur no idea on how I can get all data on restaurants in my city.

#54If someone expanded this idea to long dead products (Bebo, Doritos 3D etc.) I'd imagine you'd get a load of traction off those nostalgia social media pages.

#55We need an internet archive but for Google Maps.
It would be cool to have a feature like that, similar to how you could see previous years in Street View. Closed restaurants are preserved on Yelp, maybe there might be a way to extract that somehow and put it on OpenStreetMaps…
OpenStreetMap is for currently existing features (or currently existing remains, ruins can be mapped). So if for example sign remains, it can be mapped. But once fully gone: it is not mappable in OSM.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nonexistent_features
In addition we cannot import data from Google Maps or use Street View due to licencing terms.
https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ collects also objects gone without any remains remaining visible. Not sure about their handling of licensing.

#57BC Burrito, Kaimuki HI deserves a section here. Their seasoned potato burrito (add carnitas) is still without a doubt the best burrito I have ever tasted. https://bcburrito.wordpress.com/about/
I am seeing a lot of "Burger King" and whatnot in LA - you might want to filter for corporate noise.

#58RIP Crackers Grill, 582 Sutter St, San Francisco. We loved going there on vacations out west, circa 2000-2003.

#59Even after 3 years, I'm still sad about Clarke's Charcoal Broiler in Mountain View.

I have very fond memories of the McDonalds near my childhood home
