Can someone update tobacconist map for Indiana?

Visiting family in Indiana and will be passing through Indianapolis on my way out. Seems tobacco map may be out of date. I believe the Hardwickes locations have closed and a place called Pipe Puffer is not listed. Pipe Puffer was featured in a Muttnchop Piper YouTube video otherwise I wouldn't have known of it. TIA to anyone who has editing rights.

Guessing with shops dropping like flys maybe everyone should shore up their areas.

I think we should do a massive r/pipetobacco map update. My suggestions would be that we select select a group to lead the updates in each country interested in the update. For example in the states:

Post 1: New York.

  • We use the post to identify B&Ms across NY via Google Maps/Internet.
  • We use the post to identify members who volunteer to visit each b&m as applicable.
  • They go, capture image, do a quick template write-up review, talk to staff etc.
  • They send their summary to the group in charge and the group organizes and cleans up in info onto a new map.

Each post can be doubled up on areas across countries. For example Post 1 might be NY, London, & Cape Town...

I'm happy to lead the efforts in the USA. I think this map could be way more awesome and kick-ass than it already is. I especially love it on roadtrips....

tl;dr we need a bulk map update. Above is a suggestion to do that.

Hmmmm they have changed it since I set it up a while back. You didn't need to pay to edit/delete shops. Hence why I picked this site. Let me do some research for a better platform. Sorry guys

It wanted credit card info to allow me to make changes. Forget that....

Hardwickes is definitely closed (both locations), but Pipe Puffer is great. Last time a I went in I picked up some Across the Pond, And so to Bed, and Margate. Great selection there.

Anyone can add to the map. I think you need to be the original entry creator or an admin to edit an existing one.
