Some Questions About GopherNow.com
The problem with this site is that it depends on its users, who so far, as it’s just starting out, aren’t that many. This means the site isn’t as comprehensive as it could be. It’s only got a few places listed in select cities. Typing in keywords probably won’t help much either.
