Have you ever wished that a photo you took, among thousands, or a Google Maps review would get a ton of views or likes? :sparkles: It happens to me often, and while it doesn’t always occur, I’m always hoping for that wish to come true. :shooting_star:

A few days ago, I was delighted to receive this news from Google: my review of Destiny Thrift Shop now has over 2,000 views! Why do I care so much? I believe that many things can have their useful life extended, and many secondhand items are of excellent quality and serve the purpose one seeks. :face_with_monocle:

I’ve been frequenting these stores for a long time, not only in my role as a Local Guide :sports_medal: but also because I find gems! Whether it’s a good-quality Pyrex dish, a vinyl record (big fan), or retro decorations that I love :two_hearts:. In fact, I decided to create a list on Google Maps. It is still in baby steps but getting there somehow: :recycling_symbol:Thrift Store Treasures & Seconhand Gems :recycling_symbol:

I’d like to take this opportunity to share a photo of my latest purchase from a thrift store! :heart_eyes:

@Shaunak thanks a lot, my friend! It feels special when we receive these mentions from Google because it is really hard to track down the success of our contributions on our own. #letsguide :sparkles::grinning_face::white_check_mark:

Congratulations for your achievement, @marcorp!
The news is important to us and reflect our aim as a Local Guides, and that is to make people know about hidden gem places that could be valuable to someone, and we can help many businesses to be known by more people.

Kudos to Google Team, too, for making great news of our achievement.

@ALG87 thanks for your words! Yes, some places really deserve recognition for all they do, and Google Maps is really great at channeling it. :grinning_face::sparkles:
