Hundreds and hundreds of voters have spoken. Blowouts, relatively close contests, and exactly zero upsets have ensued.
And now, Round 1 in Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tourney is officially in the books.
Atlanta, meet the contenders left standing:
These eight winners are still alive in the quest to claim everlasting Best Neighborhood glory (for at least a year) as determined by the voting public—in very public fashion. The only criteria is that you vote for the place you feel is doing it right, right now. (Reader nominations determined the field of 16 neighborhoods earlier this month.)
The eight competitors left standing represent a wide, eclectic swath of the ITP universe. Which one shall prevail, rising up to claim the 2024 crown?
The Elite Eight contests will open very soon. Get ready.
Note: The Final Four and Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024 Championship will come next week. Thanks again to all who’ve participated (1,800+ votes and counting). Now, onward!
