Chair LetterScott PalermoA Skeetz ProductionPage 4ScottHi There,I am excited about NoCo Treasures! We introduced the “Best of” Awards voted on by our members and the general publicin 2023 and it was a massive success. This is now our second year so I think we can officially call it an Annual event!The program engages the community by encouraging participation in the voting process, benefits our members bypromoting businesses to North County residents, and builds our membership by introducing the Chamber to the bestbusinesses in the area. It is a win-win-win for NoCo!Voting for NoCo Treasures continues through Tuesday, September 3 so after you finish reading the newletter, go to ourFacebook page to click on the voting link and submit your favorite businesses in over 80 categories. Winners will beawarded at our monthly luncheon on Wednesday, September 18 at Orlandos. Make your reservations for that big eventalso.NCT brings up some great memories of growing up in North County and I think it would be fun to have an “All Time NoCoTreasures” award honoring the best in the history of North County. Here are some of my nominations. Check out theFacebook page to make some suggestions of your own.Best North County Abbreviation- Norco… I don’t understand what happened to the R!Best Family Activity Center- Putt-Putt. 54 holes of mini-golf, go carts, batting cage, arcade and a giant slide that wouldgive you a bad friction burn if you weren’t careful.Best Cruise- Lindbergh Blvd. from Putt-Putt to Cross Keys.Best Pizza Parlor- I love the Italian restaurants we have in the area but miss the old parlor that you ordered at thecounter and played video games and hung out with your friends until your order was ready. We had several—Pizza Inn,Godfathers, Pantera’s but my favorite was Village Inn Pizza.Best Mall (Indoor)- I know it is hard to believe because of how it all ended up but Jamestown Mall was a great place to beat its peak.Best Mall (Outdoor)- Northwest Plaza claimed to be the biggest mall in the country at one time.Best Place to “Watch the Airplanes”- Public Viewing Area at Mo. Bottom and Lindbergh. I have been told that you can dothe same thing at Cell Phone Lots now.Best Drive-In Movie- Any would be great have again in the state today but our favorite back then was 270 Drive-in.Best Sidewalk Sale- Village Square. Grab a treat at DQ and work your way through to Casey’s (stopping at Radio Shack touse your Free Battery Club Card).Best Place to Shop for the Holidays- Olde Towne at Village Square. Enough shops to have something for everyone on yourlist but if it really came down to it, you could get everyone something from the T-shirt Shop.Best Family Sport Venue- Jamestown Sports Complex. Had some good times there playing indoor soccer and sandvolleyball and they even had a couple of Wiffleball courts.Best Under 21 Club- Animal House. Some real good music acts and enough variety to keep everyone happy.Best High School Hangout- CYC Dances with DJ Tony Tocco. You just had to be there…I could go on and on but Jaime told me I had to get my submission in before 1:00. I will post this on the Chamber Facebookpage and would love to see your nominations for the All-Time NoCo Treasures as well!Keep it REAL,
