Best Category We Left Out - 2006
Best Category We Left Out: Public Nudity?
Your creative desire to honor a person, place or thing shines each year as you labor over that last blank on the ballot. Some of you even graciously fill in your own answers.
Food, alcohol or nightlife-related suggestions include: “Best Convenience Store,” and “Best Food Delivery” (Steak-Out). Elixir took these two categories, “Best Bar to Spill Something on Your Shirt and Have the Bartender Get It Out” and “Best Place to Pick Up Lonely Divorcees.” There’s more. “Best Sommelier” (Norm Rush), “Worst Food & Drinks,” “Best Onion Rings” ( picked up this one), “Something Where the Public Can Vote to Have Night Club on the Reservoir,” “Something to Replace the Dock,” “Best Fried Pickles,” “Best Watering Hole for Young Professionals” and “Best Next-day Leftovers.” Musiquarium and the Dutch Bar got votes in “Best Bar That Closed Its Doors.”
Other types of businesses and careers garnered votes: dance studio (Dance Connection got lots of votes), doctor, lawyer, Indian chief—oops—I meant real estate, massage therapist, mechanic, auto repair shop, potter (Thomas Morrison), gaming store (Game Zone at Northpark Mall), library, chiropractor (Drive Leo Huddleston’s fans still read the JFP), night school, day spa, new artist, salesperson (Stephanie Price), dog groomer, floral designer, dance instructor (Mike Day), disc golf course, regular golf course, spoken word artist (C. A. Webb), spoken word poet YaYa Browne), local market (the Greater Belhaven Market returns in the spring), limo driver (that went to Rick Cox) and place for eyebrows (Incense).
Then there those of you who voted for best place for public nudity (breasts and legs were
suggested as Best of categories, too).
Finally, I vote that this suggested category appear on the 2007 ballot: “Best Thing(s) to Get Rid Of” with the provided answer being Jackson’s Current Mayor and The Clarion-Ledger. Unless drastic changes come about in 2006, that provided answer will work then, too.
