• Kay Harris in the VDT:

  On Monday this week, a team of judges from the Rand McNally/USA Today Best of the Road competition will visit Valdosta to determine if the city will be named the Friendliest City in America.

  While an evening ceremony has been planned to greet the judges, no one knows where else they may go, what places they may visit, or if they will identify themselves as judges for the contest. In other words, you most likely won’t know if they walk into your business, so mind your manners.
