What, no Pokemon Go thread?

Tested and confirmed this morning:
When hitting pokestops, as long as you continue on a unique chain, every 10th stop will give you double items and experience, and a guaranteed egg if you aren't full.
waiting 10 minutes between runs will "reset" the chain. So, while there are few more than 10 pokestops in town, I can easily hit exactly 10 in 5 minutes or so by making a quick circle around the main streets near where I live. Once I do that, if I wait 10 minutes (instead of immediately making the run again because the beginning stop has reset by then), I can make the run again and get the double item/xp&egg bonus on the last one again.

Even if I'm in an area with 10 Pokestops, I'm lucky if the app doesn't crash before I can collect even a half-dozen.
I've had far fewer crashes since the last update.
I am seeing a lot fewer Pokemon in general.
Same. Things are bleak near our house too. We were downtown today and I couldn't believe how many stops and gyms were nearby and I caught a Squirtle.10 Pokestops don't exist within 150km of where I live.

I ride my bike on a trail that loops around a large drainage ditch near my apartments. It's a popular walking spot. People drive to the area to go walking. Number of Pokestops within range of the walking trail: zero.
I'm pretty sure you're closer than 150km from a plethora of stops. I thought you were in Dartmouth?
We have 7 in town. SEVEN. 4 are near each other, the other 3 are not. Two gyms, one at the Army Cenotaph, and one at Town Hall. Adjacent "towns" (none are over 1000, most less than 200) are even worse I'm sure.
We both work in Dartmouth, but we live be out past the airport.

Reporting PokéStop or Gym Issues
Please note, we are currently not accepting submissions for new PokéStops or Gyms.
A little more luck and hatching/evolving over the past couple of days.
This was a evolve, finally caught enough Spearows.
Hatched, first I've seen personally.
First one I've ever seen, daughter only has 4 of them.
Evolved, Krabbys were not very plentiful either.
We drove over to Toledo Bend Reservoir today, to make some engagement photos for our daughter, saw exactly NOTHING new on the trip. Just more rats, weedles, and fuckin' pidgeys, on the bright side, I only need 2 two more Pidgeys for the gold on the Birdkeeper medal.

I didn't even know gyms could be level 7....

There is a fire station down the road from me that is level 9 Instinct. I would see if it can go higher, but I don't even have anything strong enough to combat to add support.
There is a level 10 here in town that has 4 freaking Charizards in it.
Not really. I mean, I still haven't even seen a compelling reason to install it in the first place.

I don't play it, but I been enjoying y'all writing about it here at home.
I don't think anyone's claiming it's Halflife 3. Yeah, it's a fun diversion as a game. For a mobile game, the pay model is acceptable (in-app purchases that mgiht give you an edge but aren't real deal breakers, everything can be reached by grinding). It's a reaosn to go for a walk instead of lounging in the sofa. And it's certainly social - playing Pokémon is somewhere in the neighborhoud of "walking a dog" or "holding a baby" as far as striking up conversations with random strangers is concerned.

Yes the grave of an American Hero is a Gym.

I'm not feeling well so I decided to use an incense and in addition to Pidgeys and Weedles....I caught...
...So? Is this surprisng? The King's Tomb in town (with, yes, actual kings in there) is a gym, too. The "more important" landmarks tend to be gyms, so it's an honor he isn't "just" a Pokéstop.
They just copied over landmarks from Ingress to make the stops and gyms without regard to their hallowed ground-ness.
More people will probably see his grave in a month than used to in a year. Possibly more. Maybe a few of them will look up who he was, and thus some good will come of it.
It's not a GREAT way to get people there, but it probably works.
