Issue: October 01, 2015
Morning, readers!
Let's see, where to start? This week's feature story delves into the
world of the music industry and how digital streaming has affected,
well, everything. Now that Apple's getting in on the game, will it
dominate the biz?
In other news: We check in on Chico Scrap Metal and its efforts to
remain on its East 20th Street property despite zoning issues and
contamination on the site; a new group emerges in town with hopes to
change the way our City Council and mayor are elected; and Arts Devo
celebrates his 1,000th story.
There's always more. And what a beautiful rainy day for some leisurely
reading.
Until next week,
Meredith Cooper, associate editor
