Some other examples of this kind of thing:
There's a Moorish sovereign citizen group that has a name that is confusingly similar to the US federal government. Their office is labeled a "government office" on Google maps. Every time Google sends me some email telling me about the thousands of people who have been helped by some edit I made years ago, it spurs me to try to correct this location. It's always "not accepted" and it keeps on showing up as a government building. I have no idea what to do at this point, but it seems dangerous to have Google steering people towards a fake government building.
There was also a Kmart that burned down a few years back. Apparently there was a Sears appliance repair service based out of the place. Despite Google having updated aerial and street view imagery showing a fenced, empty lot covered in grass, they never accepted my business no longer exists at this location edits.
