Village one of 10 finalists in Reader’s Digest contest By BOB UPHUES Editor

Is North Riverside the nicest place in the United States? Of course, the folks of that village like to think so. After all, its motto is “a small community with a big heart.” In early July, we’ll find out whether the nation agrees. On June 20, the Reader’s Digest announced that North Riverside was one of the Top 10 “Nicest Places in America” and is now asking people to vote online (www.10best. com/awards/travel/readers-digest-nicest) to select the nicest place in the nation. You can vote daily until the contest ends on July 7 at 6 p.m. “Let’s continue the Chicago tradition,” said Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. “Vote early, vote often, tell your friends and show ’em how it should be done.” As of Monday afternoon, North Riverside was running fourth in the voting. The winner of the contest will be the cover story in the November issue of Reader’s Digest and will also be featured on the TV show “Good Morning America.” Robin Roberts, co-host of “Good Morning America” was on the panel of judges, along with Reader’s Digest editors, who chose the 10 finalists from a field of 450 submissions. “It’s been a privilege getting to know these incredible communities and I’m thrilled to share their heartwarming stories with America,” said Roberts in a press release.
