Hello Local Guides!
The Imo State chapter had a meet-up on Sunday, February 3rd. The purpose of this meet up was to go to different restaurants and buildings, make sure the information was accurate on Google maps (edit if not), and take pictures to be added.
We started the meet-up by having a bite to eat at a hangout spot (Choppers – great place for shawarma by the way!) catching up and planning out the day. We then went along various high-traffic streets and took pictures! We initially intended to update directly on the map as we went, but decided to collect all the information and then update at the end or later once we covered enough basis. We agreed the latter was more efficient and effective. We were able to take 75 pictures of 45 different stores, restaurants, and businesses!
I would say this was a successful meet-up, and we plan to host a series of these to cover various areas. What I loved most about this was that we had fun throughout the journey and engaged with some of the people at each location while sticking to the time frame!
I did not upload all pictures on this recap but here are a couple of the ones we took!

I liked how neat and clean this gas station was!
Thanks for reading. Feel free to ask questions!
Cheers,
