I've been reading that businesses have been buying lure modules and putting them up at or near their location to bring in more customers...
Seen several bars/pubs in Houston, TX with signs out basically saying "Welcome Pokemon Trainers! Come inside from the heat, have a drink, and catch some Pokemon!"
From a business standpoint, that's a great idea.
I've also seen signs on businesses saying "Pokemon are for paying customers only!"
I've also seen signs like "10% off your purchase if you're Team Mystic in Pokemon GO!" at a local coffee shop. Lots of people there all the time.

My Facebook group for Team Valor members in my county already has 70 people in it. We plan to do coordinated raids on gyms in strategic locations, but we have to wait until the game and its servers become more stable... Every time we go out, either the servers are down or gyms simply don't work at all.
So I've been playing for like 3 days, taking random walks, and going places... but i've only found like 3-4 pokemon. I guess i'm just bad.
Depends on your location. Got to go to more populated areas to find a bunch. if you live in the middle of nowhere, you wont find many. it has some kind of thing that wont spawn pokemon in large fields/bodies of water.
My brother has been playing like crazy, but I've yet to be able to play. Took me forever to actually get logged in and create a character, then game would crash anytime I tried to catch a starter. Phone was pretty old (about 5 years old), so this was as good an excuse as any to finally get a new one today. Now I can't get logged in because of server issues. >_>
I'm noticing that the CP goes up for wild encounters as your level goes up. Is this purely coincidental?
No, its just like if you were playing normal pokemon. As you level your pokemon in the game, you progress, then find higher level pokemon. It's the same here, except the concept is obviously different regarding your level.

Well in the regular game Pokemon levels are based by area, which is obviously not the case here.
As your level goes up, the Maximum CP for all pokemon goes up. For instance, at level 5, your Pidgeot might cap at level 500, while at level 10, your Pidgeot will go to 700. So by that logic, at lower levels you have a chance of finding Pokemon from their Minimum to maximum CP, I.E at level 1 your pidgey will be 10 through 100, but at level 13, your Pidgey will be 10 through 300, therefore you will have the chance of finding Pokemon at much higher levels than you used too, but you still have the odds of finding a 10 power Pokemon.
But the simplified answer is, All Pokemons CP, Captured of Wild, Is based on your Trainer level, so as you level up, the max CP of all Pokemon goes up, so you'll find Pokemon of higher levels in the wild.
Also the cap raises for Pokemon you already own as you level, so if you cap a Pidgeot at level 10, by level 11 you could level him up further. I'm sure each Pokemon has an Individual hard cap but at level 14 I'm still pushing my Pokemon further.

Which is why I said the concept is a little different here.
I just came back from my Pokemon Go walk.
I took 4 Gyms on my walk. Towards the end, someone was camping a gym i was taking and Ninja'd it from me, then 2 guys came to me and asked if i was team yellow. I said no, and i was the one who grinded the gym out. and they took it for me and i dumped my pokemon i it.
i walked off started to head home.
"Excuse me, if you see this "Shadowlina" trainer, tell her she has brought anarchy to the balance of (my town)"
*Grin*
"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" *Runs off away from this person.*
I realize the game itself won't look anything like this until maybe a decade or two of updates, if ever. Even so, I am happy to be alive in this day and age.
For perspective, it is very reminscent but NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Google's April Fool's joke:
