A friend of mine saw this on Fox 21's page and sent it to me.
Nextdoor has announced its 2026 Fave Awards, recognizing the most beloved businesses as voted on by neighbors.
The list compiles businesses that are voted on exclusively by locals. Businesses can’t buy their way onto the list, Nextdoor said, which ensures the winners are reflective of the businesses that locals frequent and praise for their service.
