Submission guidelines

Community Recommendations is a positive space. We publish recommendations, not reviews or complaints.

What we publish

  • Local businesses, food spots, parks, family places, shops, services and hidden gems in the Brownsville area.
  • Recommendations based on a real experience you had.
  • Photos you took yourself, or that you have permission to share.

What we don't publish

  • Complaints, negative reviews, ratings or star scores.
  • Naming people, staff disputes, or anything that targets an individual.
  • Ads, spam, links to unrelated sites, or repeated posts for the same place.

Credit and privacy

  • You choose how you're credited: first name, social handle, or fully anonymous.
  • Anonymous submissions appear as 'Shared by a Brownsville local'.
  • We never publish your email or contact details.

Review process

  • Every submission goes into a review queue before it appears on the site.
  • Our team may lightly edit for clarity, spelling or length.
  • Approved recommendations may be featured on Brownsville Life and its social pages.

Consent statement

I confirm this recommendation is based on a real experience, that any photos I upload are mine or shared with permission, and that I authorize Brownsville Life to use my submitted text and images on its website, social media pages, and marketing materials, with credit based on my preference when possible.
