Pokemon go is reaching insane levels.
Here in Daytona Beach, one of the hotels near the boardwalk actually advertised that it was within range of the boardwalk pokemon. Which I'm assuming is a pokestop or a gym or something because it's one of the city's tourist attractions. I'm sure there's a similar situation at all the hotels and restaurants near the Daytona International Speedway.
I'm kinda wondering if main street is also any kind of pokemon go hotspot. On one hand it's one of the city's big attractions, on the other it's a big biker(motorcyclist) attraction, not the kind of folks that would typically be interested in cell phone apps, and is mostly age 18+ only bars.
And I actually saw an article in the free local paper about how the volusia mall (also near the speedway) has almost doubled the number of visitors since the game was released.
I wish I had a smartphone.
EDIT: Hm if anyone here lives in the daytona beach metro area and is on the fence about getting pokemon go or is having trouble finding pokestops because this isn't really a super dense big city the daytona beach news journal's online site listed some hotspots.
* Port orange has gyms and pokespots all up and down dunlawton ave. So if yer south of daytona and live near dunlawton, yer golden.
* Pretty much all the local wal marts are covered in pokemon. Apparently what I've heard from other sources the local wal mart managers are placing lure modules in the stores. Though it seems there are a few pokespots too.
* In daytona beach proper There are pokespots all over the city bridges, particularly international speedway boulevard bridge for obvious reasons.
*Bethune-Cookman University, George w Ingram, and Martin Luther King Boulevard are also apparently covered in pokespots and gyms in Daytona beach.
