Best Category We Left Out - 2005
Best Category We Left Out: Best Bookstore, and More
The public has spoken. More of you wanted Best Bookstore (Lemuria outdistanced Choctaw Books) to be a category next year than any other suggestion. And did those suggestions ever run the gamut.
Some categories involve employment. You want Best Chiropractor; I think everyone who works for Dr. Leo Huddleston voted for that one. Best Server, Waitress, Wait Person (Ann Friday at already got a vote as did Janis Boersman). Best Publisher, our own Todd Stauffer; Best Editor, our own Donna Ladd. Best Local Cashier with Nancy at Super D Meadowbrook getting the nod. Other jobs to be recognized include Nicest Bar Staff to Obnoxious Drunks, Cutest JFP Writer, Best AM Radio Preacher, Best Pornographer, Cutest Business Owner, Hair Stylist (Casey Hales at Reflections, thank you very much) and Sexiest Bartender—no one was named, drat it.
Many suggestions involved other people, places and things found in most cities this size—Shoe Store, Clown, Smoke Shop, Local 5K Run (Watermelon Classic), Local Band Album, College, High School, Belly Dancer, Outdoor Store, Grocery Store, Gay and Lesbian Clubs, Ice Cream, Gift Store, New Church (that one went to The Journey), Place to Get Your Car Repaired, Comedian, Filmmaker, Kids’ Event, Produce, Iced Tea, Onion Rings and Neon Sign.
Look for these on the 2006 ballot. They just might be there beside Pick Up Joint, Nude Dance Club, Road Improvement, Alternative Entertainment Option, Place to Get a Bikini Wax and Best Booty. We shall see.
