You think that we could have expanded this category a little..It's no surprise people think there are only eating establishments and antique shops downtown.

Robert, you're assuming this contest is just for downtown. It's not.

Darlene, I try to pick categories that have a wide range of choices/stores/parks or whatever. I'm not aware of many grooming salons in the area, but I will keep this in mind for the next time. I appreciate it.
