MetroWest-area readers came out in full force to vote for concert, entertainment and music venues in our latest poll.

Two businesses emerged as the winners of the respective polls: Amazing Things Art Center in Framingham The Celtic Tavern in Northborough It is important to note, though, that the other contestants in the polls received a lot of support, too. Readers made it clear that there are plenty of great options for entertainment in MetroWest! Where's your favorite place…
