Your credit may take a hit from unpaid traffic and parking tickets

In many of the past few weeks, I've been seeking to spread the attention around and find people who've been doing good things but haven't received a lot of official recognition.

This week I'm selecting a couple people who've been recognized several times before and who continue to do a lot of outstanding work.

Locations of Verizon Wireless Stores

Seems odd but with cell phones multiplying faster than rabbits and everyone either needs service or is looking for a Verizon Wireless Store there is now POI for them. Reason I'd like one is when I'm traveling and possible having a cell phone emergency (Service) I sure can't call them on it and without a POI on my Garmin I'm lost. Anyone have an answer to this one?
