I'm always glad to see the "Best of Mountain View" survey and the results posted in the Voice. I think it's strange that some (but not all) of the "lanes" have been closed to posting but I'm guessing you just wanted posts to all be listed under this main story.

In any event, I'm glad so many of my favorites were winners.

No pictures this year?

As a new resident in MV, I find this a great feature and will be trying out the winners. Thanks!

Kind of Disappointed with the over-all website layout. Hard to navigate around. As a small-business owner in the City, effective advertising is key., now participating in "2013 Best of", have informed customers, and almost all came back saying how difficult it is to cast a vote and majority haven't been able to cast a vote... :(

@Michael: The ballots for Best of Mountain View 2013 will debut next Friday, in print and online. Please ask your customers to wait until the voting starts, and hopefully they'll find it very easy to do.
