Issue: July 09, 2009
Hey everybody!To celebrate the opening of Johnny Depp’s new movie Public Enemies and to celebrate Reno’s history as a mob hangout, we offer you Dennis Myers’ cover story about the real gangsters who once gave Reno a reputation as a crime mecca. But wait there’s more, we also offer movie reviewer Bob Grimm’s take on the film, Public Enemies. And not only that, but we even ask the person on the street whether they believe crime pays. It’s not a crime-themed issue, but it’d be felony neglect if you failed to pick up this week’s paper. So, anyway, click the links below to get a peek at what we have to offer, and, as always, thanks for reading our newspaper!Brian
