Dear Readers:
A lot of news happens in a week. We have 14 originally reported stories below and that does not include the food review or the listings. You might consider going onto the site and subscribing to the daily newsletter because a lot of what happens is important to know and it is tough to catch up in one day.
As you can see below, we are more than halfway to our fundraising goal, but this is the hard part because we’ve used up our match money. So, every move of the thermometer is up to you. To those who have already donated, thank you!
Your Mission Local crew.
