Welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

You have come to the right place. There is one streetview position where google defaults to the 2021 images, where this POI exists, but if you shift to the 2025 images then the building has clearly been changed and the POI this gym is based on looks like it has been removed.

Oddly, they have a review from 2 weeks ago and the Facebook page for Farmers Daughter on Main is current and active. https://www.facebook.com/people/Farmers-Daughter-on-Main/100088206765598/#

Thank you for the welcome.

The Farmers Daughter is still in business but has moved to a completely different location (41.646249, -88.602504) far away from this Wayspot. That explains the still-active Facebook page. Interestingly, the new business location is already a Wayspot under the same name.

I found conflicting evidence, which may be what Niantic came across.

The Facebook page lists their address as 303 Main Street

Googling “Farmers Daughter Sandwich Illinois” brings up a business called Farmers Daughter by Thymeless on Church Street, not here.

I cannot confirm these two businesses are the same.

The google maps pin is live at this address; the streetview suggests it has gone. The streetview was not provided by Google but by

Yes, I see the issue now.

The business moved its primary operations and what’s left at this location is a sort of residual collaboration with a separate business. A consignment seller of sorts. There’s no advertisement for this on the outside of the current business.

Regardless of all of this online-based information that may be outdated, in-person visitors can not find any sign of the business name or objects displayed within the Wayspot’s pictures.

I would upload my own pictures, but they show the same story as the DSATS street view.

The DSATS images are pretty conclusive - they don’t just exist at this location. Hopefully Niantic pop onto the thread (they read everything without needing to be tagged), but if you don’t get an official response in a couple of days and live close by, you could take a video, post it online (e.g., You Tube) and link here.

Include something in that video which is definitely current, such as a print out or view of this thread :slight_smile:

Thanks for the appeal, @RoachBagg. We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
