Pennsylvania LFS (saltwater) data In One Page. Your help and support is appreciated

Pennsylvania LFS (saltwater) data in one page. Your help and support is appreciated
There are many reefers that would like to know of saltwater stores in certain areas of PA. We need to know if there are any stores that carry saltwater products and livestock. If you know of a store in your area, please give us the name, address, and phone number. We would also like as much information as you can give us for each store. We will be doing a map that will show you the stores in each county. The map will divide the state to 8 sections (red, blue, green, and brown). Each section will then be divided into North and South. We will be traveling to some of the stores. We also are hoping to be able to give GPS locations for those who use GPS. If you can provide any pictures, they would also be very helpful. This should be a very educational link. Your help to make this come alive is greatly appreciated.
Here is an example of what I can do for my area:
Lycoming County (green north area on map)

1: Animal Specialties.
Basin Street Shopping Center
201 Basin St # 11,
Williamsport, PA 17701
(570) 322-9755 • Fax: (570) 322-9755
Big 150 gallon show aquarium with tons of xenias, star polyps, few LPS corals, Fish systems have fish name and the arrival date. Will have pictures soon. They also have fresh water section, small animals and birds. There is a small grooming section too.
No website

This was an example and I will have more information about the store once the project is done.

Thank you for your help and hope we all can gain from this project.

REEFNEST PA LFS Project

Suggestions are always welcome. I will be checking this thread and will add the feedbacks to my big map as soon as I get it. There will be alot of traveling soon and we hope everybody can contribute with as much help as they can.

Next one will be

I started a similar project using google maps, but just for the PARC area. I can PM you the link if you would like. I would just post it, but I can't get it to work as it needs to be imbedded.

Thanks and a link will help. I have seen some places where there are not all stores listed and it takes forever for the link to work. I travel alot and this will help. Once a while we see people post that they are visiting the area and want to know where to check.

Terry,

Can you also PM me the link for your google maps project? I am always interested in finding new stores that i did not know about.

Thanks!

Terry,

I would love to see the link as well. I had thought about a Google Maps project linked through www.mylfs.net and though I could get many pieces to do what I wanted, I could not manage to put them all together.

PM's sent. Sorry for the delay, I was involved in a car accident so haven't been online as much as usual.

I remember seeing a link to a map like this not too long ago on reef central.. Where you can put in your region/zip or something similar and run a radius search for all nearby reef stores.. Had the link saved... but then the computer crashed and lost the link… anyone remember what I’m talking about?

The DVRC has this started already....

Go Here: www.delvalreefclub.org and it is under Library.

We just also launched the Reviews section of the site, so only one store has a review, but it is linked from the Google Map right to the store review. See, AZ Pets & Pondz in Reading to see how it works...
