The Michigan Daily Best o Ann Arbor 1997 -
Best Liquor/Party Store:
Village Corner
Party on, dude. What a great, central-
ly located place to stock up on cheap
wine before that crazy gathering you
plan to host later. Or some candy for
that sweet tooth of yours. Or beer. You
can always count on VC.
Best Sporting Goods:
Moe Sport Shops
Oh Moe, you're so sporty. Gotta love
those sports uniforms - you know the
kind that make you look like you are on
the basketball team when it's really just
a fake-out - mini-footballs and tennis
equipment. And then there's the music,
of course.
Best Photocopying:
Kinko's Copies
Makin' copies. Makin' copies at the
copy machine. Forget the "Saturday
Night Live" skit. You can make some-

one else do it for you at Kinko's - or
you can do it yourself if you so desire.
The possibilities are endless: Get your
color copying done; buy a FedEx enve-
lope for that internship application you
were supposed to mail ages ago; hey,
you can even buy a birthday card. And
it's open 24 hours a day. Makin' copies.
Makin' copies at 3 a.m.
Best Groceries:
Meijer
24 hours a day. What a place. Where
else can you get Boboli, macaroni and
cheese and pasta at such a great deal
(don't think we don't know your eat-
ing habits)? To top it off,
you can still get that adren-
aline rush from watching
the people, and there is
usually no spilled, brown
sticky stuff in Aisle 7.
Gotta love that. Also, you
can usually learn your
cashier's life story while in
the check-out line. It's bet-
ter than the Soap Opera
Digest you read when
you're standing on line.
Best Florist:
Chelsea Flower
Shop
A rose by any other name wouldn't
smell as sweet. That's what Ann Arbor
has to say about this East Liberty Street
florist. Got a hot date tonight? Well, if
you're planning to use this year's Best
Pickup Line, you might as well give a
flower while you're saying it. Might
help you out a little. The Daily always
looks out for its readers.
Best Travel Agency:
Boersma Travel
The sign outside says: "Things To
Do: Take a Fantastic Vacation." Wow,
Boersma read our minds. Kinda
makes you want to pack up and hit
some exotic beach. But why would
anyone want to leave Michigan -
especially when it's so easy to get a
deep, dark tan on Palmer Field with
that hot Michigan sun beating down?
We're just kidding, of
course. It's sure nice to
~ know that Boersma is
so good at knowing
how to get us out of
this state.
Best
Magazines:
Borders Books
and Music
Forget the rest of the
store. It's still so easy to
get lost - just in the
magazine section alone.
Along with your basic titles like
Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly and
U.S. News and World Report, this place
has got Pen World - find out if that
pen you're using in history class is in
style - and tons of cigar magazines.
And dear, innocent Ann Arborites -
looks like Borders just started selling
Playboy and Playgirl about a week ago.
Now that didn't have anything to do
with your vote, did it? We didn't think
so.
Best Michigan Items:
Moe Sport Shops
Can't stop bopping to those great
tunes playing outside Moe's every time
you walk past? You know, when you
are 10 minutes late for your lecture at
the MLB, forget class and bop on in.
From the trillions of t-shirts lining the
wall, to the Michigan potholders, to
Michiganopoly, to that Michigan
sports bra, you are bound to find
something with which you can show
that "Maize and Blue" spirit. And
don't forget to check out that Michigan
Cheerleeder Doll. You know you want
it.
Best Posters:
Stairway to Heaven
Where else can you get a giant-size
black light poster of Jerry Garcia, a
poster of a naked man and woman
"getting it on," or a subway-size reg-
ular poster of The Blues Brothers?
But if you eat at too many of theBest
Restaurants, or if you keep smoking
out of that crazy water bong you
bought here (for tobacco use only,
mind you), you may have some trou-
ble with the stairway. Once you get
past that, though. the posters are pure
heaven.
