Best
Mortgage Broker:
Steve Heard |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
OK, we know...
perhaps we should just name this award after Steve! He's one of
our best-know MyFolsom netizens, and a great guy to boot. Many
MyFolsomites refinanced with Steve, and will attest that he is
very honest and very knowledgeable in every thing he does. |

Best Barber:
Folsom Barber |
 |
|
|
|
|
Folsom has been through a lot of changes, however Folsom
Barber has been a mainstay for years. They are an
old-fashioned barber shop - cutting hair and telling stories
of the way Folsom used to be. It's no wonder you usually
have to book a haircut several days in advance - everybody
comes here! |

Best Bank:
Bank of America |
|
|
|
|
|
B of A is
very well known for excellent customer service - it hasn't
changed over the years. However, one of the perks of Bank of
America is a dying breed - the drive-thru ATM! Drive up and
you'll still notice the 'lanes' from the days when you did
your banking by car and sent your paycheck up a tube, Jetson-style!

Best
Website: City of Folsom |
|
|
|
|
|
The City of Folsom website is a great resource for any Folsom
resident - from mayor's letters to residents to hot topics, they
usually cover it here. Their new website is definitely a great
improvement over an already great site!

Great customer
service, great food, great prices! How could you not love Trader
Joe's? Even though there are many of these stores around the
country, Trader Joe's just feels like it's a home town country
store... enjoy the free samples, free balloons and goodies for
the kids, and chat it up with the clerks, who are very much
enjoying their work. Here's to Trader Joe's! |

Best Family
Business:
Folsom Barber |
|
|
|
|
It's easy to see why Folsom Barber
is a winner in this category... they are proud Folsom residents,
and will tell you all sorts of stories while you are getting
your hair cut. You'll feel like you walked back in to the 50's
in this old-fashioned barber shop!

Best Beauty
Salon:
Dolce Vita Salon |
|
|
|
|
|
Every now and then, a heavyweight goes
down!.
Hoshall's won for three years in a row, but this year
they must step down and let Dolce Vida take the reigns. Get
your hair, manicure, and pedicure all done in one afternoon -
it's been recommended by many as the best customer service, too! |

Best Sutter
Street Merchant: Chicago Fire |
|
|
|
|
|
It's no wonder this place really
expanded... it's bustling with business! Also a winner in the
"Best Pizza" category, Chicago Fire has a great deep dish pizza,
as well as their thin crust... out of a ton of great businesses
on Sutter Street, this one gets the nod in 2006! |

Best Real Estate Agent:
Kevin Mangan |
|
|
|
|
|
There are many great realtors
in Folsom, but Kevin Mangan gets the nod for 2006. One
reader gushed that Kevin Mangan was the "reason they moved
to Folsom". They fell in love with the city, the
neighborhood, and of course, their new home.
