Voting for the Battle of the Hoods is officially over. So, we're no longer tabulating votes.

The winner seems pretty obvious, but we'll make an official announcement in a few weeks and present the winning plaque to a lucky location in the top neighborhood.

Any suggestions for where we should hang the award? Post your ideas.

Lastly, let me — and the entire CL staff — thank everyone (big ups to Kenny!) who made this Battle of the Hoods contest a mind-blowing success. It surpassed all of our expectations and really proved that Charlotte has an incredible amount of pride in its neighborhoods.

We'll definitely do this again next year. In the meantime, check this space and the print version of CL for times/dates/locations for the official presentation of the winning Hood.

Again, thanks!
