Issue: September 16, 2010
Hello SN&R readers!
This week, in “Diary of a Teenage Girl,” we hear first-hand from Sacramento area girls about family and religion, academics, career ambitions, and, of course, love, boys and sex. The results of this project will surprise you! Also, in Frontlines, don’t miss “Before the Murder” wherein an SN&R reporter details the chain of events, as police attempted to close down a Second Saturday, that ended in the tragic murder of 24-year-old Hugh Perez Zavala.
Happy reading,
SN&R
