Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Remains found near Winkler Creek

Just saw this posted from the police department. Being a 2017 grad, I had one thought when I saw this headline, but it could be anything.

Kitten abandoned at Dollar General on 321

Someone dropped a kitten off at DG on 321 next to the QP. If anyone wants a free kitten, employee said they would buy a litter box to whoever takes it. Very friendly kitten!

Breakfast with the dog

We’ve been vacationing in Boone the past few days and are headed back in the morning. Is there anywhere that we could get a quick breakfast that our dog could join us?
