And you can thank your fellow readers (and yourself, if you voted) for helping spotlight the people, places and businesses that make Richmond such a special place to call home,” said Style Weekly general manager Macaulay Hammond.
“Inside, you’ll find the winners of our annual readers’ poll, along with some quirkier, off-the-beaten-path picks chosen by our editorial team, who spend the entire year taking notes.”
VPM had a handful of winners featured in this year’s issue, including:
