It’s time to vote again in the Advocate Best of Hartford Readers’ Poll.
There’s a best blog category again. Last year, I believe the blog voted best was not a local one. No matter who wins, nothing would make me happier than to see locals voting for locals…and there are plenty of local blogs. There’s no need to select a NY or Boston-based blog when we have many excellent ones right here in Connecticut. Just check the blogroll.
My real agenda, though, is to get people to vote for Maria Rodriguez in the category of Best Local Hero. She is the crossing guard who, while pushing two children to safety, was struck by a car. Maria received bruises, but the children who attend the Noah Webster school in the West End were not harmed. I can think of no one more deserving than Maria to win Best Local Hero this year.
There’s no category for best sangria or best mojito. You can vote for those here in the comments.
