Wouldn't it be nice?

If Short Street Cakes won "Best Bakery" in the Mountain Express Best of WNC Reader's Poll? I think so. If you think so too, click on on this here link to vote. Voting closes August 19th. Anyone can vote (but only once).


You can also vote for My Life in Cake as the best blog, Short Street as the best Twitterer, Howard Street Handmade as the best Arts and Crafts Fair, and Bountiful Cities Project ast the best local do-gooder. You have to vote in at least 30 catagories for your vote to count, so here are some other recommendations:
Best BBQ (duh): 12 Bones
Favorite Restaurant: Admiral
Ice Cream: Two Spoons
Italian: Marcos
Indian: Mela
Japanese: Heiwa Shokudo
Pizza: Marcos
Chocolate: French Broad Chocolate Lounge
Bar: Admiral
Dive Bar: Broadways
Coffeeshop: Dripolator

Fashion Designer: Brooke Priddy
Record Store: Harvest Records
Day Care: Mountain Area Child and Family Center (they really are the best... we love them... heart heart heart)
Kid's Entertainer: Jolly Balloon Smiths
Thing you'd like to see local government do: take action on food security
Thing Downtown needs: A Playground and an awesome park that's not full of cops chasing bums, but where cops, bums, kids, and everybody else can hang out in peace and harmony because its just so beautiful!

But that's just my opinion.

So who did I forget? Leave a comment and set me straight.
love!

Great list!

I am asking folks to vote for Mad Tea Party as best Metal band because we don't really fit into any of the categories and it would be funny if we place there.

Nice seeing you at the Big Crafty!

Actually, maybe we'll lobby for Mad Tea Party in the INDIE category...

Go Short Street!
