Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 66 and low of 52 degrees. Partly Cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, clear for the evening, overcast overnight.

While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
You all have absolutely lost your collective minds! Fiscal insanity.
Love the idea and could absolutely see this treasure becoming a multi-use facility for the city. Not sure how I would approach it were I the owner but I believe the current owners inherited the house (could be wrong) after being in the family for many years.
Curious as to current status of the second smaller home built in the same style. Is that currently owned by the same family and part of this discussion?
Ha! Such a lovely face I’m making! 😆
