When we launched our 33rd annual Best & Worst survey, the country had just come to a screeching halt. We knew this year would be different — some would say the “worst” — but we could not predict just how much things were about to change. Though life may look a lot different these days, what hasn’t wavered is our readers’ love for Richmond’s small businesses and unique character. At times like these, the region needs our love more than ever.
