Readers' Choice 2012: It's Time to Vote

When we asked for nominations for all sorts of categories in the Oak Park area, from best yoga studios to best craft beer selection, they arrived fast and furious.

Now, it's time to put those nominations into a vote and crown Patch's Readers' Choice. And it's completely up to you. All you need to do is visit the categories below and select the area (best appetizers, for example) where you'd like to weigh in. Then, cast your vote in the poll.

We've got it set up so users can only vote once, so there's no gaming the system. So whattya say, readers? Let's get voting:

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 17. After that, we'll tally up the votes and announce the winners on August 24. And remember, your favorite businesses can't win if you don't vote. So go get voting!
