Photos

This site uses no photographs of its own. We would rather show none than use pictures we are not licensed to use. The preview pictures on the Videos page are YouTube's own thumbnails for each video.

Where the facts come from

Every listing and answer keeps a link to the page it came from, and the page says when we checked it (Oct 2, 2026). Phone numbers and websites for businesses are used only when they appear on the business's own site (or the chain's page for that location). We do not use review sites, social media or booking sites as a source for a phone number or website. A few listings (8) were confirmed open only through a third-party listing page; for those we show the address and name but no phone or website. Source sites used, with the number of items from each:
