Found an interesting quirk in Google local search today. I was looking for a particular company's placement in Google local results. Google correctly spotted that I was in Portland, OR, and offered a number of suggestions (none of them being my client, but anyways....).
The bad news: clicking on "More results near Portland, OR" pops up a map of Estonia. And I'm not very fluent in Eesti, but I'm pretty sure the results aren't going to be very helpful.
