Your turn

Rebirth of the Best
By JEFF INGLIS  |  March 1, 2006

The annual Best issue in the PortlandPhoenix is changing, as a result of reader feedback. We used to do it in November of each year, but we are now going to conduct voting for Portland’s Best in March, with results published in early April.

Also changing this year will be the attention afforded to readers’ votes. While in the past, readers’ picks were relegated to a sidebar while editors’ picks were the featured stories, now your choices will be highlighted in print, using comments from readers’ ballots. (We’ll still have some editors’ picks, to keep you up-to-date on new happenings around town.)

And further, not only do you have a chance to vote for the Best bar, Asian restaurant, apparel store, or local bookstore, but you can tell us why they’re the Best, and we’ll pass your thoughts along to the world!

Please cast your ballots shortly — the deadline is March 24. You can use the ballot in this issue of the Phoenix, or vote online at www.thephoenix.com/TheBest

  •   CAMP CLOSES; CURFEW PASSES; ACTIVISM CONTINUES  |  February 15, 2012
    Let's just say it: The first phase of OccupyMaine ended with a fizzle, not a bang. The showing at Friday's 10 pm deadline for Occupiers to be out of Lincoln Park was poor.
  •   AT UNION REQUEST, SUSSMAN STEPS UP FOR PRESS HERALD  |  February 15, 2012
    It was not the owners of the Portland Press Herald who sought out Maine hedge-fund mogul S. Donald Sussman to proffer a cash infusion to save the ailing newspaper. Rather, it was the idea of the Press Herald 's unionized employees.
  •   AS ENCAMPMENT FADES, PROTEST SHIFTS BACK TO CORE ISSUES  |  February 08, 2012
    Even as Portland city officials continue to pressure OccupyMaine to leave Lincoln Park, they have done the Occupation a great favor, perhaps unintentionally.
  •   QUESTION AUTHORITY  |  February 08, 2012
    Maine journalists appear to disbelieve their own eyes, decline to do their own research, and prefer to quote officials instead of relying on independent knowledge and experience.
  •   CITIZENS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT OCCUPY ENCAMPMENT  |  February 01, 2012
    As OccupyMaine's request to stay in Lincoln Park is considered by a Maine judge, it appears the Portland City Council's decisions (which the judge is reviewing) were based more on individual councilors' views and less on constituent complaints than elected officials have let on.
