The results are in!

The results of the Polk Village tag line contest are in. Our colorful neighborhood as a new T-shirt to wear. Or bear.

The proud winner: our illustrious roommate, Jo Ann Pacho, of SubTraction Creative Staffing. Following this honor, Jo Ann will now be sourcing herself out as a freelance copywriter.

Here is the winner and runner's up and other entries (number of votes in parentheses). There were definitely some running themes that began to emerge. Can you find them? (NOTE: if you find vulgarity or profanity unpleasant or offensive, please stop reading now. Please.)

The winner:
Polk Village. Don't look down, just keep walking. (8)

Polk Village. A nice place to shit in the city. (5)
