Issue: May 20, 2010
Hi everybody,
Hungry? I sure am. For this week’s cover story, I rode along with Calvin’s Sausages, a mobile food truck serving sausages and falafel to downtown Reno bars. It was appetizing work, to say the least. In this week’s Upfront, we’ll take a look at the difference between Tea Party Express, which is supporting Nevada candidate Sharron Angle, and the real tea party movement. In this week’s Green story, we examine feed-in tariffs, a local group’s proposal for revamping Nevada’s energy grid. And movie reviewer Bob Grimm takes aim at Robin Hood.
Thanks for reading!
If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t eat.
Brad Bynum,
RN&R Arts Editor
