We have tallied the votes! The good people of Glenside and Jenkintown have selected their champions in triple the numbers from last year!
From everyone here at GlensideLocal and Burb Media we want to give a great big thank you to all who participated. I have lived in the area for 17 years and have served as this site’s Community Editor since February, and I’m impressed with the level of pride we have in our towns and your response to our efforts. The voter turnout bolsters both!
Here’s a tally of this year’s vote:
Total Nominations: 2,453
Total Finals Votes: 33,875
Compare that to 2018:
Total Nominations: 990
Total Finals Votes: 13,398
It is our goal to show that Glenside can become a premier regional destination as well as a great place to live. With our combination of shops and nightlife, our beautiful architecture, and our perfect location, Glenside should place high on anyone’s list as a fun place to spend the day.
To show our gratitude for all those participated in the contest, GlensideLocal will be hosting a party with the Robert’s Block Restaurant in Glenside on August 15. This is a benefit for the North Hills Food Cupboard. See details here.
