Each April the Washington City Paper publishes its Best Of Washington Reader’s Poll.  For the fifth year running Capitol Hill was named Best Neighborhood to Live In.  We agree…and its our small and local businesses that play a big part in make our neighborhood a real rock star.

The Hill is Home provided a full run down of our Capitol Hill winners.  Check it out here.

The City Paper’s Best of poll reaches out to D.C. businesses with promotion packages early in the year.  Walk down any D.C. commercial zone and you’ll see retailers, restaurants, and service providers all posting Vote For Us posters in the window.  Businesses often take to social media to ask loyal clients to vote.  A win shows client loyalty and business marketing accumen.  CHAMPS salutes both.

Here’s to our CHAMPS member business winners.  Congrats!
