Moz 1st reported and shared the screenshot on G+ here: <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SEOmoz/posts/S8dR84nEBy6">#MozCast Feature Alert</a>
Then this AM Andrew posted the screenshot above. Here is his post with more details.

Seems like every day we stumble onto a new Google Pigeon test bucket. Here’s a desktop SERP for “ft. lauderdale movers” that looks pretty mobilicious:
Then Mike just posted some examples others have seen and he's seeing now too.

So far most are seeing for food and lodging.
But Andrew's example was for movers, which is a category that would not have sprouted a Carousel display in the past.
Here is a comment I posted at Mike's:
"What’s notable, if this replaces the 7 pack for ALL local searches is that there is no link to website and no address -just street. And no phone.
Mike since you are seeing it (I’m not) where do you click to get more info and where does that click lead to? A branded SERPs page kind of like when you click a result in the Carousel now?"
Any one here able to replicate any of the results Mike or Andrew posted???
If so, can you answer my Qs above?
Also can you do some other searches for local categories outside of food and lodging to see if this is indeed being tested more widely as Andrew's search for "Movers" implies?
