See You Later, 2024! In this week’s issue we look back at some of the significant happenings from 2024 — in the business community (page 6), in sports (page 7), in arts (page 10), in food (page 18), in film (page 26) and in the local music scene (page 28). And we take a look ahead at 2025 — let’s give the year one last look before it fades away.
Also on the cover And before we turn the calendar to 2025, send the year off with some fun. Check out our listing of some local restaurants’ plans for the big night on page 18. On page 30 we take a look at some of the parties, musical performances and comedy scheduled for Dec. 31. We even have some ways for the kids to celebrate as well as other ideas for family fun on page 16. And for fun any day during this between-y time week, check out the Music This Week (page 34) for live music at area restaurants and breweries.
