SoWal Business Awards

[Smiling JOe]

Since 30gAy brought it up, how about we nominate some local businesses for the Best of 2006 SoWal Local Business Awards. We nominate different companies, then we could set up a poll for SoWallers to vote for the best of each category. This will not work if people clog this thread with useless chatter. :nono1: Just name the buisness name and type of business, please.
