One of the best things about spring is that summer is just around the corner, and we thought it would be fun to ask our readers (and our staff) about their favorite aspects of summer in our coverage area. (To see a map, click on the coverage area tab at the top of out home page.)

We’re looking for more than just a vote; we’d like to hear a brief description of why the particular place, thing or activity is your favorite. Include your name and the neighborhood you live in. We’ll publish as many comments as possible in our July issue and on our website.

The deadline is June 15.

Click here to weigh in on one or all of the categories, or click on the “Best of Bridgeland” link on website, or send a written response to:

2600 E. Franklin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55406
