    How come when I try assigning a category to a venue, it can only go down to 2nd level categories?

    I try to assign a Shops > Food & Drink > Grocery / Supermarket but it can only go as far as “Food & Drink”. The same for police station, drop down only to 2nd level, which is “Government” …

    I used to be able to assign those categories before, but now it won’t allow me. I tried using Firefox and Google Chrome … no difference.

    The 256 version of the candystore icon is missing:

    A category missing: Optometrist. People get glasses and contacts when their 4sq screens get blurry. ;-)

    How about a car wash category?

    Yep – opticians – would be good to add!

      There’s a category under medical centers for “Optical Shops.” Probably the closest we’ll get.

  6. #7 by Laura A. on August 12, 2011 - 4:39 pm

    Car Wash needs to be added!

  7. #8 by Kabir on August 17, 2011 - 5:21 am

    Currently a super user, don’t you think a flag for incorrect category would be a good idea, esp to change those that have no category at all

  8. #9 by Mike on August 17, 2011 - 7:28 am

    As a superuser, you can add categories to places which have no category at all already…

  9. #10 by Kabir on August 17, 2011 - 7:36 am

    I do see the option. But where or how do users suggest categories? Shouldn’t this be a flag option?

  10. #11 by Sal Grieco on September 22, 2011 - 12:06 pm

    Would like to see a subcategory under Clothing store for “Tailor Shop”

  11. #12 by Danielle Nuzzo on November 1, 2011 - 3:48 pm

    Would love to see ‘surf shop’ added under ‘service shops’!

  12. #13 by Sl@yer on November 21, 2011 - 1:56 am

    Supermarket option is not available, if only it could show up under shop!! and the link http://4sq.com/MissingCats is a dead link on “SUBMIT”

    Why is my icon for shops/sporting goods a baby bottle???

  14. #15 by Joey R on December 26, 2011 - 4:47 pm

    Would like to see Soccer Store under Service shops
