These lists are always interesting, but it's hard to trust the results. You can basically rig it if a few employees of a place just sit around making new email accounts and voting a bunch of times.

They have a category for everything imaginable too. Holy cow!

My neighborhood won for best neighborhood & I'm fairly convinced its because the neighborhood President literally contacted every single person and the businesses on line imploring them to vote. I like my little area of town but compared to a couple of the downtown areas, Old Village, the beaches... no we are not the top of the heap in Charleston. I can only imagine someone cruising into the neighborhood expecting Greenwich Village, Mayberry or even some artsy enclave only to see a fairly pedestrian looking anytown neighborhood.

Our eye doc, vet and dentist all send emails asking their patients to vote for them. Some even enter you in a sweepstakes to win a prize. Well, the dog can't vote , but you get the idea.
The dentist has since lost me as a patient since I haven't been able to fully open my mouth since my last visit.
The "Best" isn't necessarily the BEST. They are just good marketers.

Yeah, but there's no better anecdotal way for a city publication to do this kind of thing. The idea is your dentist should be good enough that his clients are willing to go to bat for him.
