Why is there only 4 marinas listed? What about Marine Max, Flash Marina, Prospect Point Boat Yards, Katz? These are all Jefferson marinas; there may be a couple more that slip my mind right now, but if this is going to be about Jefferson, at least be thorough in giving us choices.

Canine Country Club of the Lake should be listed under doggie daycare. I would have nominated them but saw this too late. It's a new business and great place to bring your dog!!
