Of course, technology is now our friend, and readers could vote easily online.” “Back in 1990, we thought that our readers had picked the “best of the best” for all time. And we were dead wrong. East of the Cooper, nothing really stays the same,” Macchio added. “In fact, some of our inaugural “Best Of ” winners are now only fond memories. These include Blockbuster (Best Video Rentals) and Chapter Two (Best Bookstore). Even once important categories such as Best Photo Developing (won in 1990 by Jack Rabbit) no longer exist. On the other hand, stalwarts such as Hudson’s Import Service (Best Car Repair), Roper St. Francis Hospital and Harris Teeter remain winners year in and year out.” “It’s always a great time when we gather our annual Best Of winners and their many fans for one terrific party, and this year we’re pleased to be able to put a big chunk of the ticket proceeds back to work in our community through these four outstanding organizations,” Macchio concluded.
