Thanks to the hundreds of lovely ladies who turned out last week for Chester’s Sip &Shop. The rain held off and the town was hopping! I’ve always been on the other side of these events (organizing and nail-biting), so it was a thrill to be on the retail end and seethe outpouring of local love. Thanks for supporting this wonderful group of specialty shops, galleries and restaurants and I’m so glad to be a part of it.

Speaking of local love, it’s time for our annual Best of The Shoreline Readers ‘Poll! We’ve been at it 10 years (crazy, I know!), and we love to see what your favorites are. Fill in as much or as little as you’d like and give your favorite businesses a boost. Just for taking the time, we’ll enter you in a drawing to win a$100 Gift Certificate to River Tavern.

p.s. this list features some of our favorite summer articles from The E List archives.
