Best example of smart real estate development
Innsbrook
Hey, Short Pump wasn't around to compete back then.

Nesbit Hatch at Pine Street Barber Shop
No more barber shop for Mr. Hatch. Heard of a place called Nesbit The Complete Body Salon?
Best radio station
WVGO 106.5-FM
The adult rock 'n' roll station has rolled over. Now you'll find hip-hop and R&B on the Cox Communications station, WRCL Cool 106.5-FM.
