La Mesa Courier’s annual Best of La Mesa competition, and Uptown News/Downtown News’ annual Best of Uptown & Downtown San Diego contest are underway, and it’s time to vote!

These three publications — along with the Mission Times Courier, La Jolla Village News, Beach & Bay Press and Peninsula Beacon — are now part of Times of San Diego.

You, our readers, get to nominate and vote on the best businesses in La Mesa and San Diego’s uptown and downtown areas, ranging from who has the best cocktails to who holds the title of best veterinarian — and so many categories in between.

Local business owners can also claim their business listings to use our built-in promotion tools.
