Issue: October 21, 2010
Hello SN&R readers!
Here comes the election extravaganza issue you knew was coming. In addition to our endorsements for the November 2 election, we offer a smart examination by Cosmo Garvin of the race to fill three seats on the Sac City School Board. Elsewhere in the issue, read about the new (old) Arco Arena plan, a meet-up with the region’s go-to dumpling guy and at least one place to go for stripper lessons. Oh yeah. And lots more.
