Does Ridgefield Have the Best Main Street in America?

Last chance to help Ridgefield get to the next round of voting in Parade Magazine's Best Main Street in America contest.

Voting closes just before midnight Sunday in the first round of Parade Magazine’s contest for the Best Main Street in America and Ridgefield is in the running.

If Ridgefield’s Main Street receives more votes than Ellicott City, MD, it will continue on to the quarterfinals on Monday have a chance to make the magazine’s cover this summer.

While Parade notes Ridgefield’s likeness to a “Norman Rockwell painting,” citing downtown’s “historic homes, quaint shops and beautiful Ballard Park,” Ellicott City is putting up a fight.

As of Sunday afternoon, Ellicott City was beating out Ridgefield with 58.15 percent of the vote.
