Other results worth noting:
- 1388 votes cast.
- Two nominated arcades that could have made it into the
top 10 were excluded from final tabulations. Cini-mini in
Grand Rapids was excluded since there are two Cini-mini's
in that city and no one bothered to define which one was meant.
Similarly, Folsom Video Store in San Francisco was excluded
since, to my knowledge, there is no such store. There are
two arcades across the street from each other on Folsom, but
I was unable to determine which one was meant.

Topic: Nominate the best park for sex in the world! To be
considered, a park must be a place where sex actually occurs
regularly -- not one where guys meet and go elsewhere or where
an encounter could happen but usually would not. NOT included
are rest areas, laybys, and picnic stops along roads.

Other results worth noting:
- 403 votes cast.
- Several nominated parks were excluded from final tabulations
for one of two reasons: 1. I had no way to corroborate the
existence of the park and/or that it was, in fact, genuinely
cruisy. If it wasn't listed in the cruisingforsex.com Sex
Listings (and a surprising number were not listed), it was
excluded.; 2. Confusing a cruisy toilet with a cruisy park.
Some parks have active toilets, but rarely see action in the
woods of the park which was the purpose of this excercise:
to locate the cruisest parks with action outdoors.

Other results worth noting:
- 1144 votes cast.
- * regarding the Steamworks, Chicago: This establishment
received 163 votes which should have allowed it to take first
place honors. Unfortunately, I received word that Steamworks
in Chicago was actively encouraging patrons to vote by posting
signs in their facility. When confronted, management also
acknowledged that friends and patrons had been encouraged
via email to vote. Sadly, this rather weakens my attempt to
have real patrons cast their votes based on personal experience.
As a way to attempt to compensate for the extra advantage
of Steamworks, I have halved their votes which puts them in
second place.
