Sunrise, Sunset

How do you get to Sunrise, Florida? Not on Google maps.

For almost a month, the city didn't exist on the interweb search engine. Whenever anyone searched for Sunrise, they were re-directed to Sarasota, which is 200 miles away. H4x0r by the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce?

Believe it or not (but do), this is the 3rd time that Sunrise and it's 90,000 inhabitants has disappeared from Google Maps. The local businesses in have felt the aftereffects of not being searchable on Google saying that business was down during the month because quite simply, no one could find them. Hmmm, maybe it's a plot by the folks at the Yellow Pages?

The worst part is, there's been no official word from google as to why the town keeps disappearing and reappearing. Does Google just hate that state? Is it possible it's the teleporting mountain from Krull? Now Florida is finally cool!
