Series Launch: Best Of Patch, And We Need You

Each week, readers will have a chance to vote for their favorite businesses and service providers in a number of fun categories. Click the "Keep me posted" button to stay in the loop about the series.

Monday, Martinez Patch will kick off its first Best of Patch contest. (Click the "Keep me posted" button below this piece to stay in the loop about the series.)

Each week, you'll have a chance to vote for your favorite businesses and service providers in a number of categories.

Every week we'll post a poll asking you to vote on your favorite one. Readers can add a comment and review the business on its Martinez Patch Places page. Polls will close at 9 a.m. Friday.


Then, on Friday, check back for the results. Winning businesses will get a nifty Best of Patch certificate.

(Because our poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results, comments and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.)

Here are the upcoming poll topics:

Best Sandwich Spot
Best Preschool
Best Place to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day
Best Kids Martial Arts Lessons
Best Burrito

If you want to suggest a business for the contest, post it in the comments below and don't forget to vote each week.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More

The city is no longer paying for juror parking. In other words, juror or not, if your meter hasRead More expired, you pay.
