Now, Mentor has the chance to make the rank again; but, this time, it depends on you.

Rand McNally and USA Today are looking for communities to put on its "Best of the Road" map.

Five teams composed of amateur travelers will leave New York for Los Angeles, canvassing the cities and towns along the way. In the meantime, they will be ranking the places they stop in five categories: Most Beautiful, Most Patriotic, Friendliest, Most Fun and Best for Food.

For these teams to stop in Mentor, you have to visit the Best of the Road website, nominate and vote for Mentor or points of interest in our city.

Whatever you do, act fast. Voting ends Monday.
