Best of Metropolitan is more like a who paid for more advertising! It can't even come close to being a reliable listing for professionals in our community. It's always the same "group" who get these so-called awards. We all know how these things go down, it's just sad that some new to area don't know how the Metropolitan Magazine really works!
Unfortunately for some of those on this list who are very competent, decent persons sharing space on it with a jerk and loser damages their reputation and credibility.
The Metropolitan Magazine is SO BAD, don't even read it in the doctor's office or pick it up, even though its FREE. Such a waste of advertisers' money. Maybe one day they (advertisers) will learn. Don't hold your breath!
This magazine is just an adult version of high school popularity contests. There's nothing of any merit in this rag. It's free because no one would buy it!
What a piece of Sh*t magazine! It's free because NO ONE would pay for this bird cage liner. Arrogant snobs who highlight the social activity of the area; now that' funny! Narcissits who love seeing their name in print. What a waste of good paper, that could be used for toilet paper.
I use to manage Mulligan's south. Each year when it came time for the Metropolitan's best off vote the owner would bring us stacks of the magazine and have the employees fill out the surveys. He would even ask us to take them home and have our family members fill them out. Of course we always won at least 3 categories. One year we won 5 categories. That entire best of is a JOKE. I refuse to even pick up that rag and read it. It ranks right up there with the Daily Times. Crab wrappers.
This is all pay to play. I was a manager at a rather large buisness in Salisbury. We were contacted by Someone, runs the magazine pretty much, and asked if we wanted to be on the cover and a full story done in the magazine. They thought it "would be a great story ". Then told us wen we expressed interest, it would cost about $5000.00 we would pay them to write a glowing review. The magazine is a shame. Bathroom magazine holder material.
These are paid for and ballot box stuffing is encouraged. Please! Who believes anything about this charade?

ReplyDeleteShameless!
Most all of their "awards" go to their advertisers. Seems like their ballot box is stuffed with the same people/businesses every year. Wonder why?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for some of those on this list who are very competent, decent persons sharing space on it with a jerk and loser damages their reputation and credibility.
ReplyDeleteBecause every month they have the same advertisers

ReplyDeletei agree with all above
ReplyDeleteCould have been worse they could have had Monica Snee as teacher along with Phoebus as lawyer.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the teacher didn't pay for any ads. Congrat's to her. Maybe she's the only one on the list who won it on her own.
ReplyDeleteInteresting - at Jury duty today, the Phoebus name was on the docket!
ReplyDeleteLawyer of the year for getting away with DWI????? This is a joke, right?

Oh and I love the home tours. Some of these people think they are royalty in their pretentious little help cottages.
