Each year, it is fascinating to see the choices that our
readers make for their “best of” favorites. We are not
surprised when previous “best of” winners continue
to get the most votes, but often we are surprised when
former winners seem to have lost their appeal. Of course,
we understand that time changes things, and that is why
we conduct this yearly search, where we learn what is new
and hot and what is not. If your favorites are not winners
this year, don’t be disappointed. Instead, try the new
winner to see if you agree with those who responded to
our competition. We believe you will find this year’s Best of
Tampa Bay winners to be worthy of their titles.
