Issue: November 12, 2009
Hey everybody,
Another week, another excellent newsweekly. On the cover, special projects editor Kat Kerlin examines brain injuries—an increasing problem because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And in our environmental section, green lights mean go! Also in this issue, we highlight the bright ideas of the world’s digital artists. And that’s not all, Sharon Black shines a light on the West Street Market and the gyros therein. As always, thanks for reading the newspaper. If it weren’t for you, we’d have to go into the light.
