Welcome to LebTown’s first-ever Friday open thread!
Regular readers may have noticed that we launched a new comments feature earlier this year. This system integrates deeply with our membership program, and we hope it lets us pull discussion currently siloed on Facebook to our website.
Adoption has been … limited … and your publisher wanted to change that. As Charlie Munger said: “Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.”
Here’s the deal: There’s a $25 gift card up for grabs to whoever leaves the best comment. Where’s the gift card to? Honestly, I haven’t gotten that far yet, but it’ll be something good … and not just a $25 credit for the LebTown Merch Store, although we do have nice options in there. If you’d like to sponsor this feature, please get in touch.
“Best” in this case will be determined by me based on objective criteria including insightfulness, humor, and relevance. Maybe we’ll switch to a democratic system in the future. For now consider me the benevolent dictator of this little comment community.
This week’s prompt: What’s your favorite meal in Lebanon County?
Be specific. I don’t just want to know the restaurant. I want to know the order. I want to know if you’re ordering the fries well done, or the sauce on the side. I want to feel the ambience. Take me off the beaten culinary paths. Tell me the meal you crave but are embarrassed to admit it. Although I personally don’t worship at the house of sauced cheesesteaks – that’s a pizza steak, not a cheesesteak – I’ll respect your choices whatever they are and I’ll never, ever yuck your yum.
LebTown members, make sure to login with your LebTown account and you’ll receive a special badge in the comments. This contest, however, is open to all.
Have at it.
