We’re starting to feel like Susan Lucci over here
We're nominated for the Providence Phoenix's Best Blog of 2011. We'd love it if you would head over to the Phoenix's site to vote for us!
Greater City Providence
VOTE!
Image from stock.xchng Yes, yes, we don’t live in Ohio so what does it matter? And if like me, you live on Federal Hill, then both your State Senate and State Representative seats are uncontested. But you still...
In voting this morning, I noticed something that really bothered me. The whole thing is so East Side centric. How can they have a vote for best Indian restaurant and not even have Bombay Club in the running?
I hope you wrote it in. I did.
Of course I did. Haven’t had Indian that good anywhere in PVD.
Odd how they capitalized Providence in the GCPVD name…
I wonder how the nominations for the categories were chosen. Some aren’t East Side focused, but are all over the place (most “Best Bagel” nominations aren’t even in PVD, but places like Smithfield, Warwick, etc).
In the past, many winners have actually betrayed a possible strong PC student voting block, with many of the champions (pizza, bakery, bars, etc) being in orbit of the PC campus.
What places have won around PC? I can understand Tommy’s Pizza (close, but not frequented by PC students) and LaSalle Bakery (because it’s really good), but have never really seen many others. Patrick’s Pub was on there this year, but it’s really only visited by the older PC students, and not regularly. PC doesn’t even get the Phoenix on campus (something about the classifieds section not being in line with Catholicism).
Most of the other places are very East Side and, yes, many aren’t even in PVD (I was surprised Track 84 didn’t make it in the Best Beer Selection category).
I actually nominated GC:PVD for best blog (nominations were like a month ago I think). Apparently others did as well. Some of the other places I nominated (Bombay Club for one) didn’t make the cut.
I never even realized there was a nomination process.
The caps in the name are probably from the fact that Providence is in caps in the logo. It’s a style thing more than a how it should be written thing, but I can understand why someone would reproduce it in caps.
Jef Darling, if you had been reading The Providence Daily Dose you would have learned all about the nomination process. We will report on our victory as soon as the results are in. Beth
I don’t know Beth, those RIFuture peeps really like to take advantage of any chance they get to vote for something.
