Here's mine.
City Life Shout Out of the Year: Here’s a shout out to taxicabs: thanks for saving me a lot of money this year. Whether you maliciously ignored me, refused to accept a debit card, or just weren’t around when I needed you, you did what it took to protect my pocketbook and get me some much-needed exercise.
Best Transit Employee of the Year: “Thanks for Riding Metro, Blah, Blah, Blah, Happy New Year. Don’t go in front of the bus.” – Driver of the B30, 12/27/10
Most Interesting, in a Good Way, City Danger: The Whole Foods in Logan Circle is the Grand Court of DC’s young gentry, so full of beautiful couples, muscley gays, and disaffected hipsters that an additional 20 cashiers and a new robotic express line have not made a dent in the checkout wait time (more infrastructure, more crowding!). But they brought back the good fake chicken in the hot bar, so I guess it’s really a wash.

Earwormiest Song of 2010: Club Can’t Even Handle Me Right Now, by Flo Rida, featuring that cool dad who presses buttons a lot. I don’t ever actually go to clubs, but sometimes I hum this song to myself when I’m walking down a hallway at work, and it’s like I’m at a club.
