One year ago, as we launched Ashburn Magazine’s inaugural Best of Ashburn survey, the community was just coming to grips with the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. It proved to be a trial by fire for many, but from the hottest fires come the strongest metals. Today, many Ashburn residents and businesses have found new strength and new purpose. With what we hope is the wind at our back, we have once again conducted our annual Best of Ashburn survey. We logged more than 60,000 votes cast by nearly 10,000 readers. It was a fantastic turnout that led to a fantastic list of people, places and businesses that are truly the Best of Ashburn.
