Is Google+ Beginning To Integrate Into Google Places?

Today Mike Blumenthal of Blumenthals.com posted about what appears to be a new addition to Google’s local results.  A specific query for “transmission servicing lexington ky” displayed the normal Google Places listings, with one exception:

The surprising thing about the above listing is that the link goes directly to a personal account, not an actual Google+ page.  We had extreme difficulty replicating this on any other queries in different towns.
