Yes, it is time for the Dealer 2008 Best 'Stuff Edition.  Thank you to our graphic design team, whose brainchild was this year's original "Pig" design, with the cool Bauhaus font.

Best excuse to make a random category for something random: Our Dealer "Best 'Stuff" edition, of course!

Best way to prove that you have absolutely no idea what a vegetarian restaurant is:  Year after year, vote for vegetarian-friendly non-vegetarian restaurants like Myra's, Mullane's and Melt in the Best Vegetarian Restaurant category, so long as they start with the letter "M".

Best ploy to show your city really counts for something, gosh:  Make sure to mention Ikea to all your visiting friends because this city is actually a trendy real city now that Ikea is here.  West Chester, that is.

Best way to use up space: Add silver, bronze, copper, and aluminum awards to your "Best of" edition.  Did you know that Biggs came in 2nd place for Best Grocery Store this year? Congrats, Biggs.

Best scheme to hype up a politician:   Talk up Roxanne Qualls as the anti-Mallory mayoral candidate. Anything Mallory does, Qualls does the opposite.  Obviously, everyone will recognize this as a sign of true leadership.

Best "who's your daddy" moment: Kroger agreeing to circulate CityBeat again, and practically single-handedly keeping this rag alive.
