7 Dearborn Localities Nominated for ‘Best of’ Award

WDIV, local news station channel 4, has nominated seven Dearborn establishments for its Vote 4 the Best contest’s Winter Guide edition.

Sponsored by Local 4 and www.ClickonDetroit.com, the contest has become a very popular hook in recent years. This year’s winter edition has more than 300 businesses nominated in 23 categories, six of which contain Dearborn businesses.

Up for “Best Ice Skating Rink” is the Dearborn Ice Skating Center (DISC) on Ford Road. It is competing against 18 other skating rinks, including Detroit’s popular Campus Martius Park.

The Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, with its leisure and lap pools, fitness area, and climbing wall, is nominated for “Best Indoor Activity Center,” along with 20 other places.

Dearborn’s Ford Field Park on Cherry Hill competes against nine others in the “Best Tobogganing/Sledding” category. Keeping in stride with the theme, Nichols Ski & Patio on Michigan Avenue is nominated for “Best Ski/Snowboard Shop”, along with seven other businesses.

Keeping residents warm this winter, Desert in Alaska on Tireman Ave and Reckinger Heating and Cooling on Monroe are up against each other and 19 others in the “Best Heating Service” category.

Also there to keep residents warm in a different way is Mati’s Deli on Monroe, nominated for “Best Chili”, along with 15 other restaurants, some of which have been featured on The Food Network.

Voting opens on January 17 and runs through February 18. It is free and open to all.

    I am surprised to see the DISC is not on the list. It is clearly the best run ice arena in Michigan, trust me I’ve been to almost everyone. It’s cleanliness is beyond reproach and the quality of the ice is always primo. The DISC is one of our best public assets, and the envy of every hockey association in Michigan. This is one recreation tool that Is exceptionally well run and should be on every best of list.
    Guess what it is entirely self funding!

    Mr. Deep,

    Mati’s Deli really does have the best chili ! It is very meaty, a tang of spices yet a little sweet…it is very satisfying. I eat it even in the summer…along with their sandwiches and potato soup on Wednesdays!

    The DISC is on the list, RB, please make sure to vote for it. Kirk Young runs that place, and does a great job.

    There should be a category for “Most Beautiful High School”. Fordson would win hands down for the Metro Detroit area if not the whole country. What a jewel!

    I agree about Fordson! Incredible structure. The first million-dollar school in the country, when it was built.

    If we’re nominating Fordson for “most beautiful school”, should we nominate Divine Child for best……actual school?
