Vote for Your Best of Westchase Favorites thru April 26
The nominations have been gathered and the candidates have been selected, now there's only one thing missing from our Best of Westchase online contest: YOUR VOTES!
Click here to cast your ballot in two dozen categories that celebrate the best that Westchase District has to offer. Who do you think has the best office lobby? Who has the best happy hour? What is the best hair salon/barbershop? Where is the best place to hide from your boss in Westchase District?
Online voting is open through Friday, April 26, and each category still has a space for write-in candidates. We'll announce the winners, present them with a commemorative plaque and buy each of them an appetizer at a happy hour event in early May (details to follow soon). Also, we'll have a special results section in the Summer 2019 issue of Westchase Today. So what are you waiting for? Give us your best!
