Bradenton: Is it the Best in the Bay?

The folks over at Creative Loafing are putting together their annual Best of the Bay competition that puts a spotlight on everything from the best bars to the best neighborhoods throughout the region.

While it’s their contest, Bradenton Patch wants to hear from you about the people, places and things that make our little slice of Tampa Bay stand out above all others. 

Would you nominate Bradenton as the best neighborhood? Is there a burger place that should get top honors in its class? How about a local gym that beats them all?

Nominations for Creative Loafing’s contest are open until 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.  Just visit the site to suggest your favorites in this year’s competition. There are hundreds of categories you can nominate in, but you only need to fill out 24 to have your suggestions considered.

Now, Bradenton, tell us: What local “musts” should be on that final list? Should our community be nominated as the best neighborhood in the region? Share your thoughts by commenting below!
