"The only gym in my area was just removed; what now?"

#PokemonGO: Today, the gym closest to me (about a 5 minute drive, or 15 minute walk) has disappeared. I still have the badge for the gym--my only gold badge. The gym was located at a park on a residential street, and was rarely visited by more than 5 people at a time. The only explanation I can think of for this is that someone living on that street filed a complaint to Niantic about cars briefly parking in front of their house. I went there often, and I can confirm that anyone who ever showed up for a raid respectfully parked such that the road and driveways would not be blocked, and no excessive noise was ever made.I am extremely disheartened and unmotivated, as this gym was really the only thing keeping things interesting for me. Players from all teams competed to hold it daily, and there was always at least one raid to do there every day. It was usually the same few names popping up, forming a sense of friendly rivalry and competition. I personally don't enjoy using maps or scanners to hunt for raids, and with no gyms within view of my house, I feel little motivation to play daily.I haven't given up hope yet; I tried tweeting at Niantic Support about my problem, but I don't know if they ever respond or if they'd even consider bringing it back. Has anyone else had any success restoring a gym or Pokestop after it being removed? I'm open to any suggestions at this point... via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2DUHhCU
