Best of Reader's Choice

At Least You Can Do This In Public: Readers voted Music in the Park as the 'Best Free Entertaiment for Adults.' It beat out that perennial favorite, 'Sex.' YOU SAID IT-- we just counted it. During the long counting process, your comments kept us awake: We laughed (Why This Area Is Best: "Pete Wilson isn't from here"), we cried ("Most-Missed Band: Inka Inka"), we scowled (not the same ballot-stuffers again). But most of all, we learned all about what you enjoy most in your home towns. Below are listed the top three vote-getters--or more, in the case of ties--in the 1997 survey (aside from a few categories and businesses that were eliminated due to overzealous vote packing). Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to readers who participated in this annual ritual.
