I have a "4" coming up this next week...

No actually it was Sunny Days in the message above mine who got 18 shops. I was just commenting to Sunny Days that was where all the shops went.
And to those interested, I got my delivery monday on the zip code shop I picked up when I expanded my area. The picture was a pain as there are no really bright sunny spots in my house with light walls so I had a shadow using a flash..they said the picture looked good. So I guess I will get paid with shadows in my picture.

I am curious how the decline thing works. I did finally permanently decline the golden arches since I am sure i will never want to eat there. I tried declining the tax shop "just for this phase" but evidently the phase lasted one day and the next day there were a gazillion of them back again. Since I live in LA there seems to be a tax shop on every block and there are a lot of blocks in LA. My list of shops is really long...that used to happen with golden arches too. And my shop radius seems to be permanently set to 100 miles which in Los Angeles means hundreds and hundreds of shops every day. I need to manually change it to 10 miles each time so the list is not so darn long of $2 shops that are 50 miles away. Is there a way to decline a shop for more than one phase but not permanently? I think in LA all phases must be only a few days as whenever I have declined this phase only it only stays off a few days.
All of you out there in the burbs and rural areas must be jealous of our city shops but we don't get bonuses around the city very often and when we get them they seem to be $1...less than the cost of parking at the shop. ivloglady Wrote:

I too got my delivery and agree about the photo. I realized I do not have a white wall in my house so I need an assitant to hold up a tablecloth to get my photo. I also got the wrong item so I have extra narrative. Still it was nice not having to leave your house for a shop. Good luck with your photos. You'll be another Ansel Adams by the time this is done!

Sandyf, you do not have to decline any shops, or even change the miles. Just click the tab "shop types" and all available shops in the 100 radius will be alphabetized and grouped by shop type. Then just glance through the bottom. Sometimes you find some single location stores. You do not have to like the ff food.I do some strictly for the bonus. There is an ff in a place that I do not usually go but sometimes at the end of the month it gets a good bonus so I take the ff and then find some other small shops around that mall and just do that area.
