Thank You
e Readers’ Recommendations
During June, Loudoun Now asked readers to share their recommendations about their favorite places, people and businesses.
Nearly 4,200 names were submitted as nominations in the poll’s more than 200 categories, with each person, place or business held up as a piece of the community that makes Loudoun County a special place to live and work.
What’s the favorite date spot? Again this year, the readers recommended Purcellville’s Magnolia’s at the Mill.
Stone Tower near Leesburg and Bear Chase Brewery on Loudoun’s western boundary continue to rank as the favorite cra beverage destinations.
Among more than 60 performers nominated from the county’s robust music scene, Gary Smallwood repeated his performance as Loudoun’s favorite musician.
And it should come as no surprise to county residents that nearly 80 Loudounbased nonpro ts were nominated for recognition of their community service.
Inside, you’ll nd the readers’ recommendations for where to meet with friend, the favorite outdoor dining spot, who to bank with, where to nd the best burger or barbecue, and service provider from accounting to yoga—virtually every element of life in Loudoun.
e list of winners also can be viewed at loudounsfavorites.com.
