When the Downtown Mall’s bricks were replaced four years ago, it was in no small part due to complaints from high heel-loving ladies—walking Downtown was a minefield of holes ready to swallow pumps. We’d imagine around that time, Ace Shoe Repair was booming with business. The Seminole Square cobbler must have proven itself; readers still think it’s the No. 1 place to go to save their soles. Bob’s Leather & Shoe Repair, which actually repairs even more than that (the Hydraulic Road biz does alterations and tailoring too) steps into second place.

Here’s one of life’s cruel ironies: If you have a fear of words, you have what’s called hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. When you’re a naturally anxious person, this kind of fact can really bog you down, which is why readers turn to Susan Cunningham, who specializes in treating anxiety, grief, depression, and women and couples with relationship struggles. Psychiatrist David Mika has been practicing for 30 years and aids in the evaluation, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and emotional disorders.

Widely considered the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace (born in 1815) removed dead bugs from Charles Babbage’s analytical engine and her notes on the machine include the first processing algorithm. These days, “debugging” is a different process entirely, one that the folks at Quick Fix Computers know how to navigate with aplomb, according to readers. In second place, NWG Solutions, a Microsoft and Dell preferred partner.

There are the kind of planners who sit back and let the whole event magically throw itself together, and then there are the kind of planners who are involved in every last detail. Dickie Morris is the latter. She’ll help design your event, rent you the accoutrements (she and her brother own Stonegate Event Rentals), and sew you a custom clutch (a “Ditty” bag, she calls them) out of vintage dresses to take with you down the aisle. Now that’s attention to detail. In second place, Lynn Easton, whose beautiful events have been featured on the pages of The Knot, Town & Country Weddings, and Martha Stewart Weddings (to name a few).
