The following is a chart depicting those businesses I either like or despise.
The local businesses get a green "thumbs-up" business, five being
the highest rating. The Mega-Corporate businesses get a red "thumbs-down",
five being the lowest, worst rating. I've tried to group things by category.
Anyone with additional information they'd like to add should e-mail me:
