Rochester Running Behind In Online Voting For ‘Best Town Ever’

We're coming down to the wire, and Rochester needs your help: We're running behind in our online quest to be voted America's 'Best Town Ever'!

It’s all part of a contest being sponsored by Outside.com — an outdoor online magazine. The good news is that we’ve already moved on in the Midwest bracket by beating Bellaire, Michigan and Yellow Springs, Ohio. The bad news is that we're running  behind in online voting against Eau Claire, Wisconsin in round three. Voting started Wednesday night, and continues through tonight at 11:59 p.m.

According to Outside.com, the cities vying for the ‘Best Town Ever’ title were picked according to these factors: “We looked for places with great access to trails and public lands, thriving restaurants and neighborhoods, and, of course, a good beer scene — all while excluding the winners and runners-up from the past three years to make room for hidden gems, underdogs, and towns on the rise.”

We all know the Med City clearly IS the Best Town Ever, right? So let’s get out the last-minute online votes for Rochester. It’s easy to do: Just click HERE!
