1999: The Year in Review
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
It's been a busy year at the Willow Glen Resident. Week after week, we put our noses to the news grindstone to bring the most relevant community happenings to the doors of Willow Glenites with inquiring minds. On my desk is a stack of newspapers--a collection of the year's back issues. It's an impressive sight that usually encourages such deep remarks as, "Will someone move this heap so I can dust over here?"
If we took all the issues of the Resident from 1999 and laid them end to end, they'd traverse the length of downtown Lincoln Avenue--about a football field and a half. Instead of littering the Avenue with last year's news, however, we decided to put our papers to good use.
From the pages of 1999, we've culled a selection of Willow Glen's highs and lows--the weird, the wild and the willowy. In January, residents were battling a scourge of rats. In April, homeowners and the city tackled the topic of "monster" homes. By July, the pending relocation of the Broadway continuation school was the issue that had everyone talking.
Before we take a deep breath and plunge into the next year--into the next millennium, in this case--here's a retrospective intended to provide a sense of where we've been this past year and a hint of where we're headed in 2000.
