who came up with the categories? ... where's a category for the best burger in town? ... why not best electrician? ... you've got plumber covered? ... and no best woman's clothing shop while you have men's clothing? ... all of this seems sort of arbitrary ,,, and, in an effort to afford your survey credibility, you should let us know how many people submitted votes ... it makes a difference as to whether 100 people voted versus thousands ... anything less than a significant turnout renders the whole thing meaningless.
