YELP BUSTED by RICHMOND RESTAURANT OWNER - GO SCREW YOU
"Cerretini lost his taste for Yelp when his began attracting reviews that were more negative than usual after he stopped advertising on the site."
The Owner Of Richmond’s Botto Bistro Is Proud To Have Yelp’s Worst-Rated Restaurant
Ratings, Schmatings. A lesson in reverse advertising. Most restaurant owners want the best-possible rating on Yelp, but Davide Cerretini is very happy to report that, based on more than 1,200 reviews, his Italian eatery has a dismal one-star score.
He said Yelp’s algorithm that features top reviews were not transparent enough, and the absence of advertising dollars was related to his restaurant’s diminishing rating. To combat the problem, or to say, go screw you, Cerretini got "even", offering a discount in exchange for giving Botto Bistro a one-star Yelp review, and customers complied en masse.
About RICHMOND
With a population of about 106,000 citizens, Richmond ranks as the 61st largest city in California.
The first human inhabitants are thought to be the Ohlone Indians, who lived and played in the area some five thousand years ago. Richmond, like most other Californian lands, was originally a Spanish Rancho with small farming operations with massive herds of cattle.
In or around 1848, the city was named after a significant local Anglo-American who insisted to State officials that the town be named after his hometown of Richmond Virginia. Do you wonder, if he was so in love with that Virginia town, why did he leave?
The railroad arrived in town in 1900, and with it the Postal Service. Soon after, in 1905, the city of Richmond was in a position financially to incorporate, which it did. Richmond went on to have an eventful history:
- 1901 Standard Oil set up operations - Richmond Refinery and tank farm -which are still operated by Chevron. There is a pier into San Francisco.
- 1919 - Until the enactment of prohibition the city had the largest winery in the world.
- 1920s - The Ku Klux Klan was quite active in the city.
- 1930 - The Ford Motor Company opened an assembly plant.
- 1940's - The richmond shipyards were used to build ships. On average the yards could build a ship in thirty days.
During the War, the city's population soared to about 120,000, making it one of the larger cities in California at that time. However, with the decline in military activity and shipbuilding, the city began a decades long decline. By 1960, the population dropped to about 70,000. Richmond bounced back. The 1970's and the age of the shopping mall, coupled with the housing boom of the 1980's brought energy and life to the local economy. Since then the town has grown at a modest clip.
Did you know? Richmond was the largest city in the United States served by a Green Party mayor.

RICHMOND CITY POLICE - THE MARIJUANA FILES - NEWS |
Richmond police arrest four gang members, confiscate gun, marijuana
Police asked the car's driver and passenger to get out, and called two California Highway Patrol K-9 units to help search the car. When one canine signaled to his officer about the dashboard, officers noticed loose air vents and then found a hidden and unregistered .40 caliber Glock with an extended magazine and several packages of marijuana.
City of Richmond Approves Huge Expansion to Medical Cannabis Industry
The East Bay city became the latest jurisdiction to embrace state-level regulations by crafting local components that plug into the state’s multi-billion dollar industry, defying critics who said state-level regulations would damage medical marijuana.
Starting last Friday, Richmond will not cap permits for commercial cannabis gardens, as well as edibles kitchens. Richmond could collect a minimum of $1 million per year with a 5 percent sales tax on activity that would otherwise go untaxed.
"We're going to be in full tax-collection mode, We want the money." - Mayor Tom Butt
Richmond has a $12 million budget deficit, and is now open for canna-business, with less red tape than nearby city Oakland, which also green-lit an industry expansion, but with onerous permitting rules.
