We’re so proud that Capitol Hill Seattle Tourney 2006 has given the people of Seattle — and the world, really — hope in this time of adversity. Clearly, it is experiences like this that inspired Time magazine to honor YOU, the voters of CHST06 as POTY.

Now it’s time for one final Cap Hill institution to advance to this week’s semifinals. Both competitors overcame great odds to get this far. Now it’s up to you – YOU – to decide quien es mas macho. Will it be the top varmints — Capitol Hill’s squirrels — or 15th Ave’s old-school drink ‘stablishments tag-team, the Hopvine and the Canterbury? Poll closes Tuesday night. Semifinals start Wednesday.
