yelp.com
Yelp features reviews of local businesses, written by locals. I've found it useful for specific reviews but if you have some time to kill, it would make great browsing material as well.
I have a Yelp account although I've reviewed only Bead Biz. This is (or was, but I hope not) my favorite "LBS" (local bead store). It's been closed over a year, but I still hope it will return in some form or other.
What drew me to Yelp--don't ask how I found it--was the "Ode to the Dour Waitress" by Elin F.: Katana-Ya Ramen Restaurant. (Scroll down some, doesn't seem to be a way to link to individual reviews.)
Once I read this, I knew Yelp was good. (Again don't ask, Californians reviewing Californians...)
