Monday Morning Link Fest: Welcome to December

Pop open day one of your chocolate countdown calendars, it’s December! To celebrate, here’s a hearty Miss604 link fest.

– The Best of 604 is still open for nominations until Wednesday, December 3rd. On Thursday I’ll flip over to voting, including all nominees on the ballot. I won’t have a current total view on the voting pages so you’ll have to show up to the awards reception to find out who wins. You’ll need to RSVP for the reception and admission is by monetary donation to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.

Since whether is always such a hot topic, and it is only 24 days away…
