You voted. We counted...and counted! The word must be out on the Best of Coronado awards, because this year we had a record number of ballots with nearly double last year's returns! Congratulations to Christopher Brown who won an overnight at the Mansion at Glorietta Bay Inn and two tickets to Lamb's Players Theatre. These are your choices, Coronado, for what you think are tops in each category. But we couldn't resist... we added a few Editors' Picks for some venues and people you may not yet know about.
