Issue: May 31, 2018
Morning, readers!
The heat is coming, which means lots of fun in the sun, plus prime time at the local cineplex, where they crank the A/C so you don't have to. This week's feature story offers a glimpse at what's in theaters—and what's to come in the months ahead. Plus, a quick primer on some of the best films to stream in the comfort of your own home.
In other news: Oroville starts talking about cannabis businesses; we check out the demonstration garden at Patrick Ranch; we chow down on pizza and beer inside New Earth Market; and Editor Melissa Daugherty prepares us for next Tuesday's City Council meeting, where more ordinances targeting homeless people are on the agenda.
There's more, for sure. Pick up a paper today!
Till next time,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
