Congratulations to Bistro Poplar, Jimmie & Sook's, and Joie de Vivre Gallery. All three downtown Cambridge businesses were ranked among "The Free State's Finest" for 2013, as judged by Maryland Life Magazine.

The statewide magazine based on the Western Shore presents the awards annually to top small business in various categories. They put Cambridge in the "Lower Shore" region so our businesses are competing against others in Salisbury, Berlin, Ocean City, Princess Anne, and elsewhere. There is only one winner in the whole region for each category.

• Bistro Poplar won the Best Fine Dining award.

• Jimmie & Sook's won the Best Family Restaurant award.

• Joie de Vivre Gallery won the Finest Art Gallery award.

"For several years running downtown Cambridge has had multiple winners in the 'Free State's Finest' awards," said Mari Stanley of the nonprofit group Cambridge Main Street. "It's yet another sign that resurgence we're seeing in Cambridge is really taking hold and the word about our great businesses is getting out."
