beckyrepp Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Greetings everyone. In order to ensure that folks have an opportunity to submit nominations for this coffee - we are going to open up the nominating process today. We'll hold the vote next Saturday - since it is a holiday week. That way, hopefully, there will be sufficient time for everyone to submit their nomination. You may post your nominations here or email them to me at becky@americanroadmagazine.com. Best wishes for a safe and Happy Holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Or perhaps... L'Americaine Rue Brew Jennifer, I like that better...but the only French I knew was "Viva la," and I wasn't too sure about even that! Keep the Show on L'Americaine Rue!

beckyrepp Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 You guys are being VERY creative. I love it! Keep those ideas comin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Rowland Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Or perhaps... L'Americaine Rue Brew "Rue" is more like a street whre "route" would be like a road or highway. If going for French, I would suggest simply American Road": "Route Américaine" Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 "Rue" is more like a street whre "route" would be like a road or highway. If going for French, I would suggest simply American Road": "Route Américaine" Chris That's true - and also I would have put "rue" before the adjective - but I did it that way instead because it rhymes and I was drastically exercising poetic license, not using literal, correct French (too rusty for French and I have moved on to Italian)! Actually "rue" isn't too far off the mark to use for American Road, because while it "mainly" focuses on US routes, auto trails and highways, there are plenty of places featured in the magazine that are on a city / local street, which may or may not have been any designated route/highway. I'm currently working something now, as a matter of fact. Happy Holidays, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that sounds like a good idea to me. I hope that we can get more folks interested in these contests and in at least voting if not actually entering. I was dissapointed that there were only 14 votes for the last coffee. - etchr66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Reese Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hopefully we will get this poll going soon, as I am heading to Disney World for a brief vacation with my bride, and will be away from the computer. I hate to miss voting in the polls here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
