PokéStop Review

Ever since the "Go-tcha" (or similar item) was implemented, I've been thinking again about how nice it would be to have a PokéStop I could spin from home. There's only a hair salon nearby that could potentially be a PokéStop (though there used to be a shoe store, a liquor store, and a Japanese confectionery shop… it's become so bleak), so I took a photo and submitted an application, but it wasn't approved. Is a hair salon fundamentally ineligible? Or was the photo not good enough? I'd love to hear examples of unexpected things being approved as PokéStops, or tips on how to take good photos of the location and its surroundings.

I thought it was inconvenient because there were no Pokéstops nearby in the middle of nowhere... A few years ago, when it became possible to apply, there was a Jizo statue right in front of my house. I applied for it, and four days later I got a notification that it was approved! When I opened Pokémon GO, it was there ( ˙꒳˙ )

When I opened Pokemon GO earlier and checked, there was one photo from the front and about 3 lines of description.

There are a lot of Pokéstops on the bulletin boards near my house.
