SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
The Jewel and its treasures The people have spoken, the votes have been tabulated, and we not only have a new president of the United States but the results of our second La Jolla Village News Readers Choice Awards. Many are repeat winners, meaning friendly service and good value are timeless, while others are new businesses that have sparkled from the get-go. Our categories cover all the things that residents can find right in La Jolla, from yoga and beauty salons to banks, grocery stores, dry cleaners and everything in between. Many winners come from La Jolla’s myriad restaurants — not only places that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner but also the smaller spots that specialize in robust morning coffee, mouth-watering fish tacos or an elegant evening nightcap. Ballots were printed in La Jolla Village News for several weeks and also distributed online at our website,
www.sdnews.com. Although our poll is not scientific, we think it gives a pretty good idea of the people and places that give La Jolla its sterling reputation. We hope these awards will delight those who aspire to excellence every day and inspire new businesses to go the extra mile — with a smile — in these tough economic times. La Jolla Village News would like to thank all the readers who took the time to single out the businesses and merchants who make the Jewel a priceless treasure. And to the winners — we salute you!
Congratulations! Anne Terhune, Editor, La Jolla Village News
