Hi!

While searching:

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...ota/Localities/B/Blaine/Business_and_Economy/

I encountered the following issues I wanted to bring to your attention:

Inactive Site: Landing page just attempts to redirect traffic one of three other sites. Two of the three sites feature site closed notifications.

Ongoing Yard Sale - Various items for sale online, grouped in categories.​

URL Changed/Name Changed: Rather than notify you guys to change the title link and text, these guys put a link to the new URL and a separate link to a totally different URL for an operation (hiddensprings flower farm) that is geographically far away.

Rice Creek Gardens - Nursery featuring alpines, perennials, shrubs and trees. History, online catalog or request printed catalog, map, contact information.​

Regards,
NCMan

For #4397 I made a copy/paste error. The correct category is:
