Best bully: Harvey Vengroff, who threatened to kill his Backlot theater and move his company to Bradenton if officials didn't grant approvals. But, hey, it worked-good news for theater lovers.

Best new urban destination: Why are Lexuses parking on Central? To shop the Rosemary District's cool new businesses, from a gourmet olive oil shop to a hip new dinner restaurant.

Best sidewalk double-take: Jack Dowd's marvelous, scary-looking giant bronze sumo wrestler in front of the Dabbert Gallery on pretty, peaceful Palm Avenue.

Best neighborhood to shop, live, eat and work in: Burns Court (drop in and see us in Suite 205 in the U.S. Garage).
