That old cork board outside the library made me flip on online reviews
I always ignored those taped-up flyers with handwritten numbers, but one last Tuesday had a faded note from a guy named Ray about fixing vintage bikes for $35. I called him, he overhauled my 1987 Schwinn for half what the shop quoted, and now I read every physical board before I trust a Yelp rating. Anyone else find better leads on real cork than the internet?
Different story for me. Last cork board gig I tried was some guy named "Pro Pete" advertising house painting. Showed up late, did a sloppy job, then hit me with extra charges that weren't on the note. Yelp at least has a review history so you can spot patterns. One good bike mechanic doesn't mean the whole board is gold.
