Request to Restore a Removed PokeStop: Johnny's Shack

Wayspot Appeals
1

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Johnny’s Shack
  • Location (lat/lon): 26.195878/-98.044369
  • City: Donna
  • Country: United States
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): none
  • Additional Information (if any): So I frequently used this PokeStop/Gym and it was accessible, it was a nice place that was old but people frequent there still and its a place where families grill and hang out. I was surprised to see it got removed and I would like to appeal for its removal. I feel like it should be restored so people have a place to go to hang out and play pokemon go in an area that isnt very full of pokestops already. It’s open to the public and has padestrian access to it from the back and front.

That location looks like someone’s house. Are you sure that is the right location?

I also cannot find any reference to Johnny’s Shack in Donna, TX, through internet searches.

Hello and welcome @GuiltyTrout6713

I believe I found this on Ingress

And it appears to also be known as The Verdin Shack

There are Facebook links.

But these seem to be for a small number of people.

It is not clear the exact status of this place as the most recent posts are 2024

I think it is rather building in the yellow circle??

But this does look like Single Family Private Residential Property, so not eligible.

However the church next door appears to have some eligible places

A baseball field in the red square and it looks like some sort of pavilion in the red circle.
