There’s a saying in Edina that we are the best small town that exists within a major city. Edina is an oasis of people who are kind, inclusive and supportive of their local businesses. Our annual Best of Edina issue honors all the people and businesses in the community who strive to be the best they can be.
Keep this Best of Edina issue on your shelf throughout the year as a handy guide to the best doctors, chiropractors, clothing stores, interior decorators and more. This writer has four of the past Best of Edina issues on my shelf and also often looks at older lists online at edinamag.com.
None of this is possible without you. So we would like to thank you, our readers, for voting in our annual Best of Edina survey and continuing to support the work of Edina Magazine in the community.
