I want to be able to surface different types of places so that I can always get the most relevant information to me

thebnich commented 7 years ago

@antlam any reason "Landmarks & Historical Buildings" is under "Services" rather than "Discover"?

antlam commented 7 years ago

@thebnich actually, we only looked at this level of the categories and Yelp puts them under "Public Services & Government".

Since Yelp things can be in multiple categories, we decided to leave it and see what we would get.

But we could special case this sub-category and pull them out into Discover... we should monitor this closely though because it could get weird.

thebnich commented 7 years ago

Since "Landmarks & Historical Buildings" isn't a top-level item, this is a bit tricky. For now, I'll keep this under services, but we should update our top-level-category-finding algorithm to stop on certain sub-categories (like this one).

thebnich commented 7 years ago

We landed most of these groups in the filtering PR, but I'll keep this open since there's still some tweaking to do (e.g., Landmarks as mentioned above).

Fixed by #555.
