It's amazing how far the standard in this town have fallen. O'sushi puts out a couple shabby planters and wins an award?? And Byblos Banquet Hall is a mess. 25 years ago these dumps would get acitation and today they get an award.
Did you see the home awards? What a joke! I think anyone who turned on a sprinkler for three days this summer got recognition. Pretty soon anyone who doesn't have a car parked in their front yard will get a prize.
Another well done project by city. Who are they trying to kid???? If this is the best-of-the-best - what's the worst.
I can't speak about all of these businesses, but I agree with the comments here. Pizza Hut and O'Sushi?? Come on! I think the Commission is taking kickbacks or they're just running out of businesses that actually keep up their property.
