Hello.
Satellite imagery shows there's a shared bike lane. Is that no longer the case?

120471605

Hello.
Sidewalks on this street are already mapped as separate paths, as such this tag should be "separate" rather than "both".

120468134

Hello.
Could you please provide some additional information on this business? On street imagery this appears to be a 5-story apartment building, not a brewery..

Hello.
What "street level imagery" did you use? I see this is Three Star Billiards, not King Billiards.

By all means, improve the map. Starting off around the area that you know best is the easiest way. However, because so many different things use OSM, it has specific ways of doing things, reasons for which might not be obvious right away. But with a little bit of practice you'll figure it out. 👍

If you have Android phone, you can also use StreetComplete app to fill in a lot of missing details as you walk around during this great weather.

Ultimately OSM is a database of geo data which can be used to generate maps, among with many other uses. You were looking at the map using the stock map style. However, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of different map styles that display labels in different manner (some don't even display labels).
The only thing you as a mapper should be concerned about is for the data to be as accurate as possible, not for it to look pretty. How the data is displayed should be a concern of data consumers, such as map tile generators.
When you map an address or a business, it should be positioned within perimeter of the relevant building, preferably closer to the main entrance. This way search, navigation and routing will actually direct you where to go, not some random spot in the middle of a block.
(Unless you are doing indoors mapping, but that's not the case here.)

Hello.
Please note this is an invalid edit and going to be reverted. It is WRONG to move nodes purely so that their labels show up in whatever map style you are using. What you are doing is tagging for renderer, and that is wrong. Please read this article for more information osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer

Hello.
Please do not map the same features twice, as building polygon and a node. Please read this article osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element 👍

Hello.
If it's not already mapped, perhaps add that fence/gate?

Where all this data is coming from? This looks very spammy and I'm leaning towards deleting it all.

120390999

Hello.
When a business occupies only part of a building, it is inappropriate to tag the whole building as that business. It should be tagged as a separate node inside the perimeter of that building.
Furthermore, it is inappropriate to map the same feature twice. In this case you tagged the whole building and a separate. You can read more about this here: osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element

Hello.
Could you please explain why did shift boundary of all these buildings contrary to what's visible on the satellite map?

120378981

Hello.
This business occupies only the first floor of a 3-story building. As such it is inappropriate to tag the whole building as that business. It should be tagged as a separate POI node within the perimeter of the building.
Additionally, this is a clearly a residential building with retail only on the ground floor. As such this whole building shouldn't be tagged as retail.

120370941

Hello.
This feature is already mapped in node/7087272768, which means it goes against the principle of osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element
As such this edit is going to be reverted.

Hello.
What's the purpose of mapping a place that's already closed? Just add it as a vacant shop or address node.
