Pop Loser: W.W.J.J.D? (What Would Joan Jett Do?)

Welcome back to Pop Loser! This week, we’ll honor our lord and savior, Joan Jett, who turned 68 on Tuesday. It was a slow news week, so I’ll dive into that weird time in the ’80s when rock musicians tried rapping. Plus, a Macklemore…at The Stranger

Higher than 62% of scored places

In this report

  • One score, 0 to 100, and its rank among every scored place
  • The good stuff within a walk, and within a drive
  • The weather and the air, right at that spot
  • How life goes in the country, and where it ranks

We score the map point and keep no record of who asked. The report names the neighborhood, never the street.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

    Drink Score

    The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
