I live a few miles from Columbia MD. A dive bar in Columbia Missouri came
up on my list. It's 835.8 miles away. I don't think I'll go check it out tonight.
I do think it did a better job of coming up with true "dive" bars than the last time you posted it.
Last time there were some bars that didn't really feel like "dives" to me. A little too upscale.
I'm in Elkridge MD. But it won't accept that in the box. So I chose to use my location and it does find bars near me, although it says my location is "near Columbia MD".
It seems to have a very limited # of locations it will accept as typed input. When I start to type Elkridge, by the time I get to "El" there are only 8 selections to choose from (and none of them is Elkridge MD, Elkton MD, or even Ellicott City MD). Add the K and there is just one selection, Elk Grove CA.
