Cast Your Vote for the 2012 Streetsies
I have to say, one of my favorite parts about being the editor of Streetsblog is posting the Streetsie polls at the end of the year and sitting back to watch the horse race. I’m hooked as soon as the first vote comes in.
You have until midnight on December 24 to make your picks. And while you’re choosing winners, don’t forget to make a year-end contribution to Streetsblog and Streetfilms if you haven’t already. There’s a new Specialized bike in it for one lucky donor, and a very nice Patagonia jacket we’ll also be giving away.
Streetsblog NYC will be running year-end content next week after Christmas and getting back to normal on January 2. In the meantime, you can also cast your ballot in the Capitol Hill Streetsies. Happy voting!
