Word of mouth. It's often the source we trust most when deciding where to shop or what restaurant to check out or which Realtor provides the best service. The annual Readers Choice poll is the collective word of mouth of the Community Newspaper's readership's favorite places and people and services.

The Readers Choice publishes the results of an in-depth readership ballot in communities served by the Community Newspaper Co. As in past years, readers responded with great enthusiasm in dozens of categories covering dining, shopping, services and personalities.

The result is an impressive compendium of winners, with a special emphasis on the people, community by community, who readers said help make their lives special.

- 1997 and 1998 Reader's Choice Awards -
For 2 consecutive years, Jay was voted the North Shore's #1 Choice For Real
Estate Agent by the readers of The Beverly Citizen and The Hamilton/Wenham Chronicle.
