NOW-May 31: WW’s Best of Portland Poll!

YOUR CALL TO ACTION… BECAUSE PORTLAND IS YOUR CITY!
Best of Portland 2008

What an election! Sam and Sho, Barack and Hillary, Steve and Jeff—when was the last time you can remember being this excited about voting? In that spirit, we’re jumping into the political fray and starting WW’s 2008 Best of Portland Poll a month early. We tackle the questions that really matter. Like, where’s the best place to drink in your neighborhood?

This year we’re taking the poll to street level. We’re no longer content naming one bar or restaurant the city’s best. After all, this is a city of neighborhoods. But we’re not so crazy as to pick a favorite bar in each of Portland’s 95 official ’hoods, so we’ve divided the city into 12 districts that make sense to us.

So take our quick survey—we’ve shortened it this year—before Saturday, May 31, to let us know where to find the best your district has to offer. To make it even more worth your while: you could win a Specialized Globe Sport commuter bike from River City Bicycles, a $200 shopping spree at Powell’s Books, or a day in a convertible Mini Cooper courtesy of Zipcar. We’ll also give a special award to the district that delivers the most ballots.

VOTING RUNS: APRIL 30- MAY 31

Happy voting!
