It's time for the annual Best issue of the Providence Phoenix. The highlights include readers' picks for the best the state can offer in arts and entertainment, city life, shopping, a host of editors' picks, and more. One of my favorite parts of this issue is the recognition of Local Heroes who are making a positive difference in Rhode Island.
So give it up for Sebastian Ruth + Minna Choi of Community MusicWorks; Lucie Searle + Sean Wallace of AS220; Jon Mahone and the rest of the crew from In House Freestyle; and last, but certainly not least, Andrew Cortes of YouthBuild Providence and Building Futures.
