On Google Maps, i love sharing the humble places that contributes to my city in terms of either food or art. In Oslo, it’s hard to survive as a business. So when i visit someplace, often by random, and it turns out it’s just a small business doing its own thing, i want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve and that they otherwise won’t be able to afford with commercial money.
More often than not, the smaller businesses pleasantly surprise me with extraordinary quality and original ideas. I’m a sucker for coffee, cakes, icecream and art, so i make sure to review places that provide these things and i often pay more effort into writing in detail about the local businesses so that people may trust them even if there’s less reviews about them.
