Economic meltdown. Political tension. Another first-round playoff exit for the Cubs.
Who's ready for Best Of 2008?
That's the spirit!
See, amid the doom and potential gloom (that will spread from sea to sea if Robot Turtle and Dolphin Whisperer get elected), there remain some positive things to enjoy. Like great food and drink. No, not great the best food and drink to be found locally. Next issue, we'll bring you the best in local commerce, icons and attractions.
You vote 'em, we count 'em, they rejoice, and we all make Friday-night plans to discover what the fuss is about.
