How much do I have to pay to get a Popeye’s on Route 40 featured next year?

It’s been like that forever. I worked in a record store 35 years ago and “best of” was for sale then too. My boss wouldnt pay. Business was good anyway.

Near 100% of the "best of" lists are for sale. Top companies to work for? Paid for. Top upcoming executives in the DC area? Paid for.

FWIW I have a wall full of Best of Baltimore awards in the lobby of my office. I don't think they have ever even approached us to advertise let alone pay to play. I typically just get a random voicemail in the spring saying we won.
