Editor’s Memo: And, What Have We Done?

December 29 2016
Written by Ken Draper.

CITYWATCH TODAY—To paraphrase John and Yoko: And so it’s New Year’s Eve … and what have we done? We try to answer that question in today’s CityWatch. A look back. A look ahead. A bunch of perspectives. Check it out. Let us know what you think.

+++++++

A reminder: CityWatch will not post this coming Monday, January 2. Our writers will be watching the games and the parade along with you. We will return to our regular twice weekly posting on Thursday, January 5. 

In the meantime, on behalf of the CityWatch staff, editors and 56 writers and contributors, I wish you all a meaningful New Year.
